Turkish residents, infuriated by online reports of the crime, flipped over cars in Kayseri and set Syrian-run shops alight on Sunday night, demanding that Syrians be kicked out of the country.
The riots damaged houses, workplaces, and vehicles belonging to Syrian nationals, said Turkey's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, who accused those responsible of acting illegally in an attitude that does not suit our human values.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the violence, which he blamed opposition parties for stoking. It is unacceptable to burn houses, vandalise and set streets on fire.
