The Turkish Interior Minister revealed that 729,000 out of 3.1 million Syrians in Turkey lack a registered address and may face suspension of public services if not rectified. This raised concerns about their status, with some labeled as ‘missing’ and a potential security threat. Many Syrians left Turkey without notice, particularly during mass migration to Europe in 2015-2016.
The Turkish government is categorizing Syrians into segments for better management. Those integrated into Turkish society are likely to receive official documents. Those who resist integration measures may face stricter controls or reclassification. Expert predictions suggest a significant decrease in the Syrian refugee population in Turkey.
These measures aim to regulate the status of long-term Syrian residents in Turkey. It includes financial incentives for voluntary return to Syria and tight monitoring of those attempting to migrate further. Overall, these actions could lead to a sudden drop in the number of Syrians in Turkey, emphasizing the need for accurate data management.
