Turkey tightens further restrictions on Syrian refugees
Turkish authorities have threatened to invalidate the "Kimlik" cards held by thousands of Syrian refugees in Turkey, reigniting public debate about Syrian refugees and implementing a new measure to tighten restrictions.
In a new step to tighten restrictions on Syrian refugees residing in Turkey, use them, and deport them, Turkey has threatened to invalidate their "Kimlik" cards if they do not update their information, according to the authorities.
The threat to invalidate the Syrian refugees' cards was announced by Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya during a speech at the Justice and Development Party headquarters in front of the media, as part of the authorities' ongoing efforts to use refugees as a means to avoid addressing the country's economic and security issues.
According to him, the reason for revoking the cards is that many Syrians have not been found at the locations registered in Turkey's official records.
