Our Syrian guests are dear to us; they are God’s blessing for us. Those who don’t like them are the ones who lack compassion.

God wants us to approach people with compassion not with cruelty. Using a loveless approach towards our Syrian brothers is unacceptable.

We would be happy to see Syrians in peace and delight in our country. A tone that is troubled with their happiness would be atrocious. A great majority of Turkish people are immigrants anyway. We should confer citizenship to our Syrian guests as well. No one should hold back fearing the reaction of loveless people.

It is our obligation to help our Syrian brothers. God gave us opportunity to be like ‘Ansar’ (inhabitants of Medina who helped Muslims when they emigrated from Mecca).

All of our Syrian guests are welcome in Turkey. Everything that we have is lawful to them. This is their country also. We love them. Our Syrian brothers will live in Turkey in prosperity. No one should pay attention to the cruel attitude of some people.

Our Syrian guests are very dear to us. It would be very cruel to indiscriminately accuse them of crimes.

Turkish nation disavows all remarks that target our Syrian brothers, who came here trusting our compassion and help.

Our Syrian guests are innocent people that need our help. Statements that target them would be nothing but cruelty.

Our Syrian guests are more than welcome here. They are the blessed muhajirun [emigrants], and they honor us by allowing us to be their ansar [helpers].

Most Turkish people are also descendants of past immigrants. It’s an honor that Syrians trusted our compassion and came here. We’d be proud to make our Syrian guests Turkish citizens.

The claim that President Erdoğan is a 'dictator' is one of the unfairest things said about him. The effort he made for our beloved Syrian guests alone is proof of his good heart.

Just like al-Ansar hosted muhajirs at the time of our Prophet (saas), we will host our brothers coming from Syria and other countries. This is a beautiful form of worship.

Our Syrian guests came here to escape death. We are happy to be able to help them.

Arab, Turkmen or Kurd, it doesn't matter. Whoever comes from Syria as refugees, they are more than welcome. Turkey will lovingly host them all.

Syrian refugees have fled from their countries in fear of their lives and are compliantly living under the harshest conditions. Nevertheless, some pseudo-intellectuals who look down on people are hateful towards them.

It is not right for our nation to chase after self-interests. Had we done that, we would not embrace our Syrian brothers. We invited them owing to our being selfless. We host our Syrian brothers in Turkey because we think about earning God’s good will and we know that we will answer to God in the hereafter. We host our Syrian brothers because we know that the opposite would be cruelty. They are also the children of this country. They are a piece of us. We are proud of our Syrian brothers. May God grant health to all of them. They can accept Turkey as their own country and be happy here.

We love our Syrian guests so much. They came with blessings. We welcome them as long as they like in our country, they're all innocent ones.

According to the values we have learnt from our ancestors, from our traditions and our religion, we regard our Syrian brothers as esteemed guests in Turkey.

It is such an ignominious act to demand deportation for Syrians. Everyone would want to be protected if it were their mothers, sisters, brothers in question.

Syrian Kurds flee from the oppression and treachery of the YPG/PKK. Turkey’s approach to the Kurds is protective and compassionate.

Nine thousand children are still missing in Europe. No one is doing anything about it. Had western children been lost, the whole earth would be moved.

It is noble to protect another when you are in need. It is noble for Turkey to host Syrians despite her own limited means.

Our Syrian guests are our brothers and sisters whom God has sent to us as a blessing.

Syrian refugees are entrusted to Turkey. They are like the Muslims who migrated from Mecca to Medina at the time of the Prophet (saas). According to the Qur’an, it is our religious duty to protect and take care of them.

We have defended Gallipoli together with our Syrian brothers at the Turkish War of Independence. Syrian people are very dear to us.
