Following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, some Syrians in Turkey are considering returning to their homeland. Since 2011, Turkey has sheltered millions of Syrians fleeing civil war, peaking at 3.5 million refugees. While no one is officially forced to leave, some Syrians in Turkey feel pressured to return due to bureaucratic changes and a less welcoming environment. Over half a million Syrians have already returned since Assad's fall. Despite eagerness to return, many Syrians are concerned about low wages, rebuilding challenges, and the integration of children born in Turkey. The return is a constant topic of conversation within the Syrian community in Turkey.
