Ankara, SANA – Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said that more than 250,000 Syrian refugees have returned to their country since the fall of the former regime.
The latest data released by the Turkish Immigration Directorate, as reported by the Turkish Newspaper Zaman today, revealed that the number of Syrians granted temporary protection in Turkey has witnessed a rapid decline since the fall of the former regime in late 2024.
The directorate explained that “the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024, opened the door for the voluntary return of tens of thousands of refugees to their homes.”
