Explanatory note

Turkey, with humanitarian considerations, has maintained an "open door" policy for Syrians without any form of discrimination since 2011. Turkey strictly complies with the principle of non-refoulement. There is no change in this policy. Turkey continues to take all necessary steps to further improve the living conditions of the Syrians.
