As can bee seen in the subheading “That is nothing but biting the hand that feed you”, the newspaper labels Syrians as “ungrateful” many times and makes them targets of hatred and enmity. It portrays Syrians not as individuals having rights but as “elements in need of help” with an hierarchic approach and incites xenophobia, emphasizing that Syrians are burden for Turkey. The article also states, “Turkey opened its doors to 3.5 million Syrians who ran away from their country instead of fighting for it. It spent 25 million dollars for them. And see what they have done in return.” With these statements, the newspaper regards the Syrians who came to Turkey because of safety concerns as “people who ran away” and conceals their struggle for their lives.
