Syrians back to Syria for holidays

There was a photograph on the front page of daily Posta the other day. The paper enlarged the photograph spreading it to nine columns as it deserved; it was taken at Turkey's Syrian border post Öncüpınar in Kilis. 

A huge crowd, the one that you can only come across at political rallies, was at the border post, waiting.

These people were Syrians who wanted to cross into their country for the upcoming Eid el-Fitr holiday to visit relatives, friends and neighbors. 

We do not know yet how many of them will be doing this trip but it seems like tens of thousands of Syrians will go to their hometowns to visit their relatives, to see their former neighbors, celebrate the holiday and come back to Turkey before the month is over. 

At the moment, we have 3.5 million Syrian refugees in our country. They took refuge in our country, running away from the fire of war burning their country. They had no other option; we could not have closed our borders to them. 

We provided accommodation and living facilities for them as best as we can; and for this we spent $25 billion from our already-scarce resources. 

It looks as if, after our borders were cleansed of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) that life has started again in nearby towns and villages. If it were otherwise, so many people would not have crossed there for the holiday. Apparently, they also have the means to live in their own countries just like their relatives. 

The reason they are not returning for good is maybe they do not have a house to return to now and no job to work and no income to make a living. 

Well then, since we are spending so much money, can't we help provide the conditions for these people to live in their own countries?
