In the light of all these issues, it is important to correctly analyze
the situation in which Kurdish people of the region have been seeking
refuge in Turkey since 2011 to rid themselves from the tyranny of the
PYD. The persecuted people of the region have been trying to escape
from the domination of this Leninist terrorist group for a long time.
The fact that they choose Turkey, where they know they will be safe,
should tell the Western world a lot, which twists the situation or fails

to understand it properly. Turkey has always welcomed with joy and
honor all that took shelter in its lands and embraced our Kurdish
brothers and sisters in the finest manner and made sure that they
were safe. Our Kurdish brothers and sisters who came to Turkey from
Kobane started hugging Turkish soldiers who were there to help
them as soon as they passed the border and expressed their happiness
at being safe and on friendly soil. It is clear that they saw Turkish sol-

diers as their own friends, relatives and even as their own sons.
Turkey is now caring for more than two million refugees that
came from Syria. Most of the refugees have resettled in 22 different

camps in addition to another refugee camp built especially for our
Kurdish brothers and sisters from Kobane, which is the largest
refugee camp ever built in the world. This refugee camp in Suruç with
a capacity to accommodate 35,000 people has its own school, hospital

Turkey took care not only of
all asylum-seekers that
sought shelter from it with
honor, but also the Kurdish
people who came to Turkey
after Kobane invasion with
the same love and honor.
Kurds who crossed our bor-
ders hugged Turkish soldiers
with great joy and enjoyed
arriving to secure lands. Syri-
an Kurds should know that
we will always look out for
them.
