It is not essential for Assad to be the president of Syria, but a government accepted by the people must be formed as soon as possible and talks must be held with them.

Our Syrian guests fled the dread of the Ba'athist Regime and took refuge in us. It would be most unscrupulous to make them experience any fear.

God loves compassionate people and helps them with blessings. It befits Turkey to be compassionate towards our Syrian brothers.

Let us grant citizenship to our Syrian brothers on the condition they have no security issues. Let's not allow fellowmen to live in tents.

I have been calling for naturalizing Syrian refugees with citizenship for 2 years. This is not a novel call that we have made.

Such loveless, cruel attitudes towards our Syrian guests is unseemly. This conduct that some journalists practiced in the past should end.

Turkey should be exemplary to the world with her compassion. We desire all our Syrian brothers with no criminal records to be our citizens.

Entitlement of citizenship to Syrian refugees in Turkey is a demonstration of the compassion of our nation. Mercy brings about blessings.

Giving Turkish citizenship to our Syrian brothers is a requisite of our mercy and compassion.

Our Syrian brothers are living in very difficult conditions in basements and in tents. They don't even go out because they are afraid that they'll be sent back.

By accepting to give Turkish citizenship to our Syrian brothers, President Erdoğan is doing what is rightful, auspicious and beautiful. His heart should be at ease.

Our President Erdoğan is on the right path. His approach towards Syrian refugees is in full compliance with both Islam and the Qur'an.

The vital point is to make sure that Syrians live healthy, securely and peacefully. Measures should be taken to provide this.

Our Syrian guests are coming to Turkey to save their lives. Telling them to go back would make them live the same nightmare and would be a big liability.

Our Syrian guests could be allowed to take Turkish citizenship gradually after conducting the necessary enquiries.

Everyone should treat our Syrian guests just as they would want themselves to be treated if they were the ones fleeing from death.

God protects those who have mercy. Granting citizenship to our Syrian guests who have been living in their tents for years would bring auspiciousness.

Our Syrian guests fled from dread and death and they have taken refuge in us. Those who don’t want them must put themselves in their shoes and reconsider their situation.

Establishing a communist and Stalinist state in Syria will never be allowed. The Deep State of the world will use the PKK and throw it away.

It is benevolence for Turkey to host our Syrian brothers as guests. Merciless attitudes would only impair those who do not act with grace.

Compassion is rewarded with compassion. May God instill love and mercy in the hearts of those who say 'I do not want Syrians in my country.' It is really painful to see that some do not have any compassion.

Compassion shown to the Syrians will be a means for blessings from our Lord to be granted to Turkey.

In Syria jets are martyring civilians every day and they call it “combating terror.” No matter who the perpetrator is, violence is violence, terror is terror.

We have been asking our government to accept our Syrian brothers to the Turkish citizenship. It’s very fine that President Erdogan is taking the initiative for this process.

We will show our Syrian brothers such a beautiful love that they would feel themselves at home in Turkey.
