Turkey continues to grapple with the political, social, and economic impacts of the Syrian civil war, with 3.65 million Syrian refugees residing in the country as of August 2019. Turkish public opinion is divided, with some viewing refugees as guests while others see them as a security threat. Political parties have varying stances: the ruling AK Parti consolidates its base with ideological rhetoric, CHP focuses on financial transparency and human rights, İyi Parti emphasizes national security concerns, MHP aligns with AK Parti but acknowledges grassroots discomfort, and HDP advocates for human rights and opposes ethnic discrimination. The refugee issue remains a contentious topic in Turkish politics, with potential new developments on the horizon.
