Syrians who sought refuge in Türkiye during the civil war in their home country have started returning to Syria following the fall of the 61-year-old Baath regime, Anadolu Agency reported.
At the Cilvegozu Border Gate in Hatay, southeastern province of Türkiye, Syrians lined up at the border gate in Reyhanli on Monday morning, waiting for customs procedures.
To prevent overcrowding, gendarmerie teams set up a separate control point about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the border.
After checks at this point, Syrians deemed eligible for crossing were directed to the Cilvegozu Border Gate.
