Some of the refugees live in makeshift tents, while some others have no shelter at all.
The refugees decided not to stay in the several refugee camps on the Turkish border with Syria.
“We are with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. We’ll follow him to the end and we will get Syria back,” a Syrian refugee told Press TV.
Most of the refugees said they arrived only a few months ago and that they are scared to sleep in the refugee camps along the border because of their support for the Syrian government. They said that they would rather sleep on the street than be killed in the camps.
Turkey is among the countries that support anti-government insurgents inside Syria.

A man at a park in Istanbul, where the refugees were stationed, threatened to break Press TV’s camera as he said several news outlets had been there before and lied about their condition, claiming that the refugees were the supporters of foreign-backed militants operating inside Syria.
According to statistics compiled by the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have been killed and a total of 7.8 million of others displaced due to nearly three years of crisis in Syria.
