ISTANBUL
\n\"Return<\/p>\n

The return of Syrian workers to their home country has not created a noticeable gap in T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s labor<\/a> market,\u00a0Labor and Social Security Minister Vedat I\u015f\u0131khan has said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He noted\u00a0that following the end of the civil war in Syria<\/a>, a portion of Syrians employed in T\u00fcrkiye have begun returning, and the ministry has conducted a comprehensive study to assess the impact of this development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to our research, by the end of 2025 the rate of Syrian workers leaving their jobs stood at 25.6 percent,\u201d said the minister.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that most of those leaving were employed in low-skilled jobs, which limited the overall effect on the labor market.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, no significant shortage has emerged. Looking ahead, we expect that the return process will not create major disruptions, and any potential gaps will balance out over time,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, T\u00fcrkiye reopened a strategic 350-kilometer railway corridor along the Syrian border to freight traffic following an infrastructure overhaul after 13 years of deferred maintenance, aiming to integrate the nation\u2019s southeast into a broader global trade network.<\/p>\n

Abd\u00fclkadir Uralo\u011flu, Turkish transport and infrastructure minister, said the route includes the 325-kilometer Karkam\u0131\u015f\u2013Nusaybin and the 25-kilometer \u015eenyurt\u2013Mardin lines.<\/p>\n

The route resumed train operations on March 31 after its first comprehensive rehabilitation in over a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The newly rehabilitated border tracks will serve as a link in the Development Road project.<\/p>\n
