The Turkish private sector needs to pay attention to the Syrian refugee question and become part of the solution, according to a representative from the business community.

“We cannot force them to go back, as businesspeople, we also need to find a way to integrate them into a system that will create a win-win situation, both for refugees and host communities,” said Limak Investment Chair Ebru Özdemir.

Özdemir spoke at the launch of the Atlantic Council’s report called “Toward Long-Term Solidarity with Syrian Refugees? Turkey’s Policy Response and Challenges.”
