No, you missed the point. This is the issue that has come to the fore in the election arguments of the two alliances in recent days. Soylu states that the opposing alliance is lying and that they have promised to clean the whole line. Whether they can do this or not, why they have hesitated until now, especially in the last year, are completely legitimate and justified questions. The second issue is the resettlement of irregular migration back to Syria, where he emphasised that the war in Ukraine has changed the situation. It is a bit unclear what he means by Ukraine war, may be related to Turkiye's supoort for Ukrine idk. He says that if the other alliance wins, the Turkish Armed Forces will withdraw from here, but if their side continue, the Turkish Armed Forces will continue to protect the regions and even expand their area. In the areas protected by the TAF, he says that they first create jobs and then, if people stay here for a certain period of time, these houses will be given to those who return. In other words, those who return voluntarily will own property and will have the opportunity to build a new life.
In the end, how much this will be realised or not, of course, should be discussed separately, but in the end, this is the first time I have seen the current ruling wing tell something so concrete. This actually shows that there is such a main source of concern in the AKP's voting base, which means that it is necessary to evaluate well whether the direct first reason for the approximately 6-8% votes lost by the AKP as a party is the economy or the threats on the demography of the country.
I get your point but let me tell you that what Soylu is explaining is actually being implemented since 3 years ago. It is nothing new
Consider, for an instance, that Iam a refugee and heard Soylu's statements. Will I risk my and my family's life by staying in Syria for a couple of years just to obtain an apartment or a 2-storey house? Nah impossible. The balance just doesnt tilt in favour of Soylu's proposal at all.
To remove the refugees from Turkey, you need to know whats keeping them in Turkey and that is
safety! Long range rockets and artillery can easily instill fear on whoever lives in the TSK protected areas and that is why I said it is a common tactic of the Russian Armed forces
For those who dont know:
Refugees were always a problem for Erdogan but he himself couldnt just throw them away. The geopolitical consequences of throwing the majority sunni population back to their graves in Syria will come back to bite Turkey 20 years into the future
AKP itself knows what filthy acts the horny men from Syria are doing to the Turks. Even if they are a minority in relation to the whole refugee population, ot is still nothing to scoff at
AKP even knows the long term consequences of keeping tens of millions of refugees
However, None of it will be realised as the refugees are meant to stay unless Turkey goes all the way in and I dont see how the US will allow its 5 decades project to be destroyed by the Turks
And Yes I actually agree with Soylu that KK is lying, any truly "educated" person can smell the CHP's lies from a mile away for gods sake. From the day I heard KK majestic plan of how to get rid of the Syrian refugees and I knew he was a complete clown tbh
However, just like how KK is lying, Soylu is also lying.
All of it is election propaganda
With the massive defeat of KK in the first round, KK's new campaign has been concentrating on the illegal refugees as a focal point to take Sinan Ogan's voters indirectly without compromising with Ogan himself
What Soylu is doing is trying to offer an alternative, as you have said, while at the same time wooing Ogan's voters without compromising with Ogan as well
The campaign for the second round of the elections have already begun
