In recent days, Türkiye has witnessed campaigns of incitement and violence
against Syrian refugees, affecting all Syrians and their properties. These
incidents began in the city of Kayseri and have spread to other Turkish cities.
This followed an escalation in political incitement against Syrians and a
tightening of arbitrary forced deportation measures. Syrians in Türkiye have
been suffering for some time from various challenges related to their legal
status, access to official documents, difficult living conditions, the aftermath
of the devastating earthquake, and ongoing arbitrary forced deportation
campaigns, falsely termed as voluntary return. Additionally, there is a lack of
clarity in some official Turkish procedures in dealing with these issues,
coupled with the exploitation of the Syrian refugee crisis in Turkish elections
through racist rhetoric adopted by many Turkish political parties.

This situation has led to acts of violence and riots against Syrians in Türkiye,
affecting their lives and properties, resulting in casualties in many Turkish
provinces, and has significantly escalated in recent days. This is due to the
lack of decisive measures against racist rhetoric targeting Syrian refugees by
the Turkish government, in addition to making the Turkish Immigration
Directorate the sole authority responsible for resolving any legal issues faced
by Syrians as individuals and as a community, depriving the Syrian refugee
community of the ability to demand their rights through Turkish judicial bodies.
The deportation operations and Turkish political rhetoric have also led to
protests and violence, resulting in numerous casualties in northern Syria.

As Syrian civil society organizations, we call on the Turkish government to
fulfill its national and international commitments related to protecting human
rights, especially the rights of refugees and displaced persons on its
territory. We also urge the Turkish government to adhere to the principle of
non-refoulement, especially since Syria, in the current situation, is not safe
for the return of millions of Syrian refugees, as confirmed by reports from the
Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic
(COI-Syria) regarding the ongoing gross human rights violations in Syria. This
highlights the urgent need to protect Syrian refugees and displaced persons from
being subjected to these harsh and dangerous conditions.

Furthermore, we call on the Turkish government to take immediate measures to
protect Syrians in Türkiye and ensure their basic rights and dignity. We also
urge the Turkish government and the international community to work together to
provide necessary support to refugees and displaced persons, ensure a safe and
dignified life for them within the country, and find practical, comprehensive
solutions to alleviate the suffering of Syrians and address the impacts of the
Syrian refugee crisis in Türkiye. This includes working on a broad plan for the
integration of Syrian refugees and combating hate speech and racist rhetoric
against them, acknowledging that Turkey has borne the burden of hosting Syrian
refugees over the past years.

We also call on donor communities funding the response to Syrian refugees in
neighboring countries to ensure that the funding allocated for refugee support
is not used in the coercive measures exercised by the Turkish Immigration
Directorate against Syrian refugees.

The vast majority of Syrians look forward to the day when Syria becomes a safe
country for their return, freeing them from the reasons for their displacement
abroad, and rebuilding their country in a way that guarantees the dignity,
security, and freedom of its people, and respects the rights, interests, and
sovereignty of neighboring countries reciprocally. Until that day comes, we call
for addressing the current escalation and violence against Syrians, protecting
them, and addressing the challenges of Syrian asylum in Turkey in accordance
with the provisions of law and international agreements.
