Hassan al-Hariri: Syrian refugees in Turkey will return with international and regional guarantees… and the Syrian regime does not want this step at all
During an exclusive interview with the head of the Syrian Council for Change, Counselor Hassan Hariri, the “Ugarit Post” raised many questions about the Turkish government’s efforts to return Syrian refugees to their country, and whether the recent statements of Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu regarding rapprochement with the Syrian government are part of a plan Ankara to return refugees.
Is the Turkish government really seeking to return Syrian refugees to their country?
The return of refugees is coupled with the availability of a safe environment through the removal of the danger for which the Syrians left their areas and headed to neighboring countries, and some of them left for Europe, as this matter is agreed upon by the concerned countries, including the Turkish state, which has stated on multiple occasions its keenness on the security of refugees, What applies to Syrian refugees residing in Turkey, is the same as what applies to the rest of the refugees in other countries. There are ideas to build a large number of housing units in northern Syria in preparation for the return of some of the refugees with international and regional guarantees, and this matter, if it happens, the Syrians will welcome it, while providing a safe environment that protects them from the tyranny of the regime, and therefore we find the Syrian regime refraining from declaring the nature of The ongoing contacts because he knows that the condition of a safe environment is linked to the return of refugees, which will be imposed on him in the event that it occurs. Therefore, the Syrian regime does not want this step, and if it occurs, it will be the result of great international pressure on him.
Do the Turkish Foreign Minister’s statements about rapprochement with the Syrian government come as part of Ankara’s plan to return refugees?
The statements of the Turkish Foreign Minister express the interests of the Turkish state, and this is a legitimate right of any state to take into account its interests. As for the existence of a plan with Ankara to return the refugees, although this matter was not publicly presented, it is natural to think about this if the necessary conditions and conditions are achieved For the return of refugees, because it is not reasonable for refugees to remain stuck in neighboring countries and others forever.
Why did the Syrian government deny the existence of contacts with the Turkish side?
The government of the Syrian regime has never recognized anything because it is far from transparent. Even the agreements concluded by the Syrian people hear by chance and after many years. Therefore, this regime is based mainly on prevarication and falsehood and not informing the Syrians of anything.
