In Turkey's capital, Ankara, a mob of hundreds attacked Syrian refugees and vandalised their property in the Altindag neighbourhood. Trouble arose came after 18-year-old Emirhan Yalcin, a Turk, was murdered in a fight between Syrian refugees and Turkish locals.
Turkey currently hosts more than three million Syrians.

xenophobic posts spread across social networks with hashtags like "We don't want any Syrians," "We don't want any Afghans," and "Turkey for the Turks."
The CHP recently ratcheted its anti-refugee rhetoric up a notch. CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu declared that if his party came to power he would send all refugees back to their countries of origin.
