Most Turks now want them to go back
year, shortly after he launched his campaign for mayor in Mersin, a port city on the Mediterranean, Vahap Secer asked his constituents to identify their most pressing concerns in an online poll. About a tenth chose congestion and public transport. About a fifth mentioned unemployment. A whopping 66% answered: “Syrians”.
The politicians seem to be taking their cue from voters. Resentment towards the refugees seems to be one of the few issues that unites public opinion. A study last year found that 86% of all Turks, wanted the government to send the refugees back to Syria. “Erdogan is a real Muslim, and he opened our doors in the name of humanity, which was the right thing to do,” says Ayhan, who runs a jewellery shop in Mersin’s old city centre.
