CHP Deputy Chairman responsible for Foreign Policy, İlhan Uzgel, made a statement regarding Turkey's Syria policy following the attacks on Syrians that began in Kayseri and spread to many other cities. 

Sharing a 10-point list on his social media account, Uzgel stated that Turkey's refugee and Syria policies have collapsed. 

Emphasizing that the AKP government is the primary party responsible for this problem, Uzgel said that the normalization process with the Assad administration must be continued.

Uzgel's statements are as follows:

1- Turkey’s Middle East policy, Syria policy, and refugee policy have collapsed and gone bankrupt.

2- Erdoğan and the AKP government are the primary parties responsible for this dire situation.

3- The government has not only failed to solve the Syrian crisis it caused, but has also made Turkey a prisoner of this crisis.

4- While Erdoğan caused the destruction of Syria with the policy he pursued and turned Turkey into the world's refugee warehouse, he did not hesitate to bargain with Europe over the lives of these people.

5- He has ignored the social, political, economic, and demographic problems created by the increasing number of refugees in Turkey and has made no attempt to solve even one of these problems. 

6- Turkey must adhere to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of neighbors, which was a cornerstone of the Atatürk era, not just in words but in practice.

7- Turkey must redefine its Syria policy and see that the continuation of the current status quo has reached a dead end. It is unacceptable for members of the SNA, whose salaries Turkey pays, to burn the Turkish flag and damage Turkish goods.

8- The Erdoğan government must immediately publish a realistic and applicable roadmap for the solution of the problem, including the repatriation of refugees.

9- The normalization process with the Assad administration must be continued.

10- We call on our citizens to be moderate and careful against provocations that may be seen in such environments.
