In sum: Provocative social media accounts have been agitating for more than a week. The government is mostly silent on the latest Afghan refugee wave. A few spokesmen gave speeches in such a way as to fuel anger towards the refugees. Some opposition thinks using this anger against the government can work, the mobs attack Syrian refugees. The anger is thus channeled towards the helpless refugees and government is relieved. I do not know who in the opposition that supported this rage actually feels now…

Bu Suriyeli çocuklar belki Türkiye’nin geleceği, öğretmeni, doktoru, mühendisi, lideri olabilirlerdi. Nasıl sevsinler artık bu ülkeyi? https://t.co/co3NVdltfc

Mültecinin varı yoğu odur. Yerine yenisini koyamayacağıdır. Elinde olanın başına bir şey gelse cebindekini kaybetmeden ne yapacağını bilememesidir. Dönüp akrabadan, arkadaştan biraz destek isteyemez. Bir küçük koltuğu, tavası, bardağı onun için bir başarı hikayesidir biraz da. https://t.co/s8N6bQyWCm

Paper by @aysegulkayaoglu of ITU, investigates if there is any correlation between Syrian refugee presence & crime in Turkey.
Conclusion:
All the analyses show that crime rates *did not* increase after refugee inflows, irrespective of
their size.
