Over 2300 dead in Turkey

[Leonardo17]

There is an enormous problem of racism in the affected regions. And I am not really able to tell if the problems is a scapegoating action backed by social media of if the Problem is truly real. Sin the Arab Spring event of 2015 4 million Syrians have fled to Turkey according to official sources. Other sources are placing this number to at least 10 million Syrians + Many Afghan and other refugees. Left-wing sources blame the ruling AK Party of striking a deal with the EU to house a basically limitless number of refugees on our territory in return for some favors (I don’t really know what these are – Probably cash – That was supposed to be spent on refugees but seems to have been spent on AK Party members themselves since they don’t even seem to have enough burial robes let alone tents for earthquake victims).

+ Syrian refugees who are used to living in extreme conditions since almost 10 years know seem to be more voracious than ordinary citizens and quickly take over the limited number of resources that were deployed for earthquake victims. Thus they are attracting an enormous amount of negative feeling from the ordinary people who already had some resentment toward them since the very beginning. 

I don’t really believe in the reports of looting. If there is looting I think it has to be exceptional. People don’t really think of LCD screens or other valuable items when they are out there in the cold / starving. But the other issue is real. That’s because there was absolutely no regulation in the emigration process of Syrian refugees and many of them are not receiving any type of aid at all. In fact they simply agree to work illegally in several areas causing many regular workers to become unemployed and finally causing resentment among the local population who is most of the time, unable to see the bigger picture (Because of the AK Party being in control of most popular media outlets and paying several groups of social media trolls to direct their attention elsewhere – By the way we are one of the top Twitter / Tik-Tok using societies in the world )

This is why opposition parties are looking for way of reducing the number of those refugees. And I think they are right. France took in some 20,000 people. Germany Just 1,000,000 (Syrians + Afghans). Even places like Jordan, Lebanon, Kurdish Controlled regions of Iraq did not take more than 2 million refugees each. We took some 4 million registered Syrians + Afghans + (perhaps) some 6 million non-registered Syrians with no or minimal organization for those people. And this is just one more problem upon which the present populist government did nothing so that it will be the burden of the next democratically elected government to solve during the coming years.
