• “We laid out the already-ready Red Crescent camp in Pendik and Tuzla Logistic Center for homeless people. The refugees left out-side have been called to live in these facilities we organized for the past 10 days. They have been told it’s unacceptable for their health and for the conscience of our hospitable society, especially in these winter conditions,” (* governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu, Hurriyet Daily News)

• Mutlu said authorities would take „drastic measures“ to contain the negative consequences of Syrian refugees in Istanbul, including sending those begging in the streets back to the refugee camps „without their consent“. (* governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu, interview with aljazeera)

• Aprox. 230.000 refugees in Istanbul *(MAZLUMDER Report Sep. 2014)
