JAKARTA - Syrians who fled to Turkey during civil war in their country, began returning to Syria after the fall of the 61-year-old Babath regime.

They were at the CIlvegozu border gate in Hatay, Turkey's southeast province, and lined up at the Reyhanli border gate on Monday (9/12) to complete customs procedures.

Reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, to prevent overcrowding, the gendarmerie team set up a separate checkpoint about 5 kilometers from the border. After passing an inspection at this post, eligible Syrians to cross were directed to the Cilvegozu Border Gate.

The gendarmerie team is a security unit tasked with regulating and supervising procedures at border checkpoints to ensure smooth processes without crowds or chaos.

Adem Muhammed Zin, a Syrian, told Anadolu that he was on his way to Damascus, his hometown.

He expressed his happiness at his country's release after years of conflict. "Thank God, our path has opened up, Assad has left, and the war has ended. I have been in Istanbul for 10 years. May Allah bless Turkey, they will help us a lot." he said.

Apart from Adem, Ali Hasiko, who has waited 12 years to return to his hometown of Hama, also expressed his gratitude to Turkey, "I thank Turkey for opening its doors to us."

There is also Ibrahim Muta, who has been waiting with his six family members to return to Hama, saying they have lived in Turkey for 11 years.

"Thank God, the war has ended. Turkey is indeed beautiful, but our home is in Syria," he said.

Meanwhile Hana Hasiko, who queued with her children and grandchildren, said Turkey and Syria were like brothers and said "We are grateful for everything, now we are going home."
