In the Gaziantep leg, representatives of Syrian refugees in Turkey, and in the Ankara leg, civil society representatives and government officials focusing on the issue evaluated the steps that need to be taken for the integration of Syrian refugees to Turkey. A possible integration process was considered with its political, economic and social dimensions.
