Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced that 7,621 Syrians returned to their country during the period from December 9 to 13.
Yerlikaya stated in a post on the X platform on Saturday that the number of Syrians who returned from Turkey "voluntarily, safely, honorably and regularly" during the days preceding Syria's liberation from the Assad regime was 310 on December 6, 176 on December 7, and 240 on December 8.
He pointed out that after Syria's liberation, 1,259 Syrians returned on December 9, 1,669 on December 10, 1,293 on December 11, 1,553 on December 12, and 1,847 on December 13.
Last Monday, Minister Yerlikaya announced that the number of Syrians under temporary protection in Turkey is 2,936,000 people.
On December 8, the Syrian factions took control of the capital Damascus and other cities before that, with the withdrawal of regime forces from public institutions and streets, thus ending a 61-year era of the Baath Party regime’s rulers and a 53-year rule by the Assad family.
