STORYLINE:
At least four people were killed during protests in Turkish-controlled areas in northern Syria on Monday, according to activists.
Hundreds of demonstrators participated against the backdrop of violent rioting that targeted Syrians in the city of Kayseri in Turkey.
The protests happened in northwestern Syria including in the Idlib countryside, which is under the control of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, and the Aleppo countryside, which is under the control of Turkish-backed National Army factions.
Near the border with Turkey, dozens of people gathered at the main roundabout in the town of al-Rai to “prevent the entry of Turkish convoys and trucks” and prevented Turkish trucks from entering the city of al-Bab, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
Videos circulating on social media show young men and boys carrying rocks and sticks, chasing after a truck bearing Turkish writing.
Demonstrators also chased employees out of a Turkish post office in the Syrian city of Azaz, the group said.
In some places, protesters clashed with local security forces.
The demonstrators headed to the Turkish forces’ points and protested in front of them.
The Turkish flag was lowered at the Bab al-Salama crossing in the Aleppo countryside, and the demonstrators were then dispersed by shooting, which led to injuries among the demonstrators.
Turkish cars in the Aleppo countryside were burnt by protesters.
The rioting erupted in the Melikgazi region of central Kayseri province late on Sunday, following reports that a Syrian refugee there had allegedly sexually harassed a 7-year-old Syrian girl.
Outraged residents overturned cars and set shops ablaze, calling on Syrians to leave.
At least 67 people suspected of involvement in the violence were detained, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on the social media platform X.
When neighboring Syria’s civil war broke out in 2011, Turkey received hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees with compassion, becoming the country to host the largest refugee population globally.
As the population grew and Turkey encountered escalating economic difficulties, it has seen a rise in anti-migrant sentiment.
Turkey is now home to 3.6 million refugees, according to government figures, though some argue the real population may be significantly larger.
