The situation of refugees at Edirne Pazarkule border gate is not very heartwarming. Have you ever walked miles into the unknown, have you ever had to spend the night on the street with your little child???
Turkey opened its border gates indefinitely on the night of February 28, 2020, with a historical decision.. As soon as the gates opened, the migrants quickly moved towards the border gates to go towards the European borders.. The number of immigrants walking to the border within minutes after the decision was taken reached tens of thousands, the mobility has continued non-stop since the first moment and still continues..
In this article, I will share with you my observations that I gained by being there and how this decision was made..
What is the situation at Edirne Pazarkule border gate?. So what happened, we opened our doors all of a sudden, what was the thing or things that caused us to open it?.
-Is it that Europe, which promised aid for refugees, does not keep its promise?
-The martyrdom of 34 of our soldiers in Idlib?
-The fact that we cannot afford another wave of migration?
Work How did it get to this point, how did the end of the rope escape
Everything has come to this point after the civil war that Syria has been in since March 2011. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives in the war that lasted for 9 years, and more than 5 and a half million people left their country.. It is said that up to 3 million 700 thousand of this number is in Turkey.. When they first came, the numbers were not like this, over time, births took place.. Syrians gave birth to around 450 thousand children during this period of temporary protection in Turkey.. We said that they should not give birth to children, dear, they are already at war, but that was not the case.. According to the statement of the Ministry of Interior, 110 thousand of them obtained Turkish citizenship, thereby strengthening their position.. Nearly 370 thousand of them returned to their country..
According to the data of the immigration administration, the first 3 cities in Turkey where they mostly live are Istanbul, Gaziantep and Hatay.. Sometimes we embraced it, sometimes we excluded it, there was good and bad among them.. We have come so far with the benevolence of Turkish people.. We came, but there were always things that confused us in this process.. We didn’t feel sorry for the money our country spent on refugees.. I’m talking more than $40 billion.
Meanwhile, Europe has always been afraid of the possibility of Syrian refugees going to European lands.. He even said that this is why he can help Turkey with money for refugees.. They would give 25 million euros.. They said, “The refugees will go to the United Nations Chief Commissioner for Refugees, then the money will be transferred from the Red Cross to the Red Cross.”. However, the expected money never came.. Promise not kept. up to 1
On the other hand, 34 of our soldiers were martyred in a treacherous air attack in Idlib, our hearts burned as a country.. up to 2
On top of all this, we couldn’t handle another wave of immigration.. Up to 3
In this period of 9 years, Turkey has worn out both materially and morally.. On top of the overlapping negativities, he did what Europe was afraid of and opened the border gates without telling when it would close.. He opened it, but we Turkish people are conscientious people, we are very sorry for what happened and what will happen, but now our concessions are beyond our height.. Hearing the opening of the border gates, the immigrants quickly informed each other and rushed to the border gates.. Some came by intercity buses, some by taxi.. They spent the money they had on their hopes, down to the last penny.. They took a bag with them, they don’t know where to go. Many of them are in trouble of crossing from Edirne to Greece and from there to Europe..
When we ask where they want in Europe, they usually say Germany.. It was determined that the number of immigrants who left our country via Edirne before 48 hours were up was 36,776.. This figure will certainly increase.. We can partly predict what the days ahead will reveal, but we are still waiting with curiosity and concern for them.. For now, Greece does not want immigrants to enter their country and has even placed its soldiers at the borders.. Responding to the attacks of refugees crossing the border with tear gas. Of course, the most affected by this situation are children..
This hopeful journey at the Pazarkule border gate, which is in the eyes of the world, seems to engrave its name in history.
