I assume you're from Turkey? I keep wondering how much the welcome for Syrian refugees was just due to the proximity, or more due to the geopolitics that Erdogan continues to play with them. Basically he holds the "I will release hordes of refugees" as a threat to the EU to extract billions in assistance payments and many other concessions from the EU. And it is a lot of cheap labour that can be exploited, and many women that can be married off to Turkish men.

Sorry to be so cynical but this is what it looks like from the outside.

Sorry, but I'm not from Turkey. Many of the refugees went to next door countries. I see what you are saying but I don't think he planned on using the refugees that way originally. It just became a useful tool for him when the anti-refugee sentiment started to rise.
