Syrian businesspeople, who have recreated their companies in Turkey since 2012, have complained about being treated like "refugees" by some circles, adding that, although they were happy, it was not easy to do business in the country.

A Syrian businessman, who had to move to Turkey from Aleppo after his factory was bombed out, said he started from zero.

Bana Alabed, the 7-year-old "Syrian Twitter girl" who attracted the world's attention while tweeting from war-torn Aleppo, has told Turkish media she loves peace, confidence and the snow in the country.
