Hundreds of Syrian refugees gathered at Turkey's southern border crossings, preparing to return home following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's government.

The influx of refugees prompted Erdoğan's government to explore measures for their safe and voluntary return in light of economic strain on Turkey.
