Ankara, SANA-Vice President of Turkey, Cevdet Y\u0131lmaz,announced on Friday that more than 273,000 Syrian refugees have voluntarily returned to their country from Turkey in six months.<\/p>\n
“Turkey has presented a test worthy of its history and civilization in the Syrian issue, by hosting for many years our Syrian brothers fleeing an oppressive regime” Anadolu Agency quoted Y\u0131lmaz as saying in a speech he delivered in the southern province of Gaziantep during the opening of the main building dedicated to supporting the voluntary return of refugees.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that a new era has begun in Syria after the fall of the former Assad regime, saying: “We may have suffered some difficulties associated with this matter for a long time, but we, the government and the people, will see its benefits for future generations.”<\/p>\n
Y\u0131lmaz said that the Turkish people and government have demonstrated a historic stance against all provocations and misinformation regarding the Syrian refugee issue in the country, adding, “Our president has taken a very firm stance on this issue, despite the risk of incurring political costs from time to time.”<\/p>\n
The Turkish Vice President reiterated Turkey’s support for Syria’s territorial integrity, stability, and sovereignty, saying, “We look forward to developing Syria’s institutional structure under a political umbrella that includes all its components, repairing its infrastructure, and accelerating its economic and social development as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
