Syrians in Turkey
They include Turkish citizens of Syrian origin, Syrian refugees, and other Syrian citizens resident in Turkey. As of 2026, up to 2.3 million registered refugees of the Syrian civil war reside in Turkey, which hosts one of the biggest refugee populations in the world. In addition, more than 88,000 Syrian nationals reside in Turkey with a residence permit. Over 240 thousand Syrian nationals have acquired Turkish citizenship after 2011. Many children were born or grew up in Turkey and don't have strong ties to Syria. Syrians are generally concentrated in the border provinces and major cities in Turkey, and only 1.3% of them live in refugee camps. Istanbul, the most populous city in Turkey, hosts the highest number of Syrian refugees, with almost 400,000 registered people.
