Milestones

In 2014, the capacity of the camps established in 2012 and 2013 became insufficient. In 2014, refugees according to their own preferences begin to migrate across provinces.
About 30% live in 22 government-run camps near the Syrian border.
The number of refugees in transit to Europe dramatically increased in 2015. \

Citizenship

Up to 300,000 Syrian refugees living in Turkey could be given citizenship under a plan to keep wealthy and educated Syrians in the country.

Conditions

As of April 2014 :
As of April 2018 :
Turkey allocated 30 billion between 2011–2018 on refugee assistance.
Over 13 million Syrians received aid from the Turkish Aid Agency. Turkey has spent more than any other country on Syrian refugee aid, and has also been subject to criticism for opening refugee camps on the Syrian side of the border.
Financial aid from other countries to Syrian Refugees has been limited, though €3,200,000,000 was [|promised by the EU in November 2015]. In March 2016, the EU and Turkey agreed on the EU-Turkey Statement, which involved a number of political concessions as well as 'another €3 billion in aid, if Turkey agreed to a readmission of Syrians arriving in Greece and tighter border controls.'

Employment

Under Turkish law, Syrian refugees cannot apply for resettlement but only temporary protection status. Registering for temporary protection status gives access to state services such as health and education, as well as the right to apply for a work permit in certain geographic areas and professions. Over a third of urban refugees are not registered.
A study which was supported by the Istanbul University Scientific Research Projects unit and conducted by academics from a number of universities, revealed that the vast majority of Syrians in Turkey are employed in unregistered work for significantly lower wages compared to their Turkish counterparts.
However compared to the increase in refugees, benefits towards them weren't increased as much as only 712,218 were given residency permits only 56,024 work permits were given to the Syrians by 2017.

Housing

Turkey's response to the refugee crisis is different from most other countries. As a World Bank report noted: It is a non-camp and government financed approach, as opposed to directing refugees into camps that rely on humanitarian aid agencies for support.

Racism

Influx of Syrian refugees to Turkey has significantly increased anti-Arabian sentiments in the country.

Education

The goal of the Turkey is providing efforts to ensure that all refugee children can access a form of learning and be fully integrated into the formal education system. The facts are:
As of , Currently, 30% of Syrian refugee children have access to education, 4,000 businesses have been opened, and several Syrian refugee camps have grown into small towns with amenities from healthcare to barber shops.
As of March 2018, about 60% of Syrian school-aged children under temporary protection remain in school. The EU has supported education, through a € 300 million direct grant to the Ministry of National Education. Turkey's educational support:
As of October 2014, Turkey provided with its own resources:
