Ten Syrian families are forcibly removed from the tent city, which was established for earthquake victims in the Cumhuriyet Mahallesi in the city of Elbistan. More than 30 families reside in the tent city. A large number of police and soldiers were sent to the tent city area to look for the Syrian refugees, who were ordered to leave the tents on the grounds that there were complaints about them.

Since the wives of two of the refugees were Turkish, two families were allowed to stay, while the remaining 8 families were forcibly evicted. It was stated that the Syrians will be settled in the tent city established in the Elbistan National Garden.

It was noteworthy that the police did not come to the tent city on Tuesday, despite residents denounced a man who used violence against his wife and child in the very same tent city. On Wednesday, police came in large numbers to remove the refugees from the area.
