In Turkish Republic there are 2 million Arab Syrian regions (Urfa and Hatay). They are mostly not called Turkish Arabs, but Syrian Arabs from Turkish soil (original habitators of those soils), because both Arabs and Turks doesn’t accept they are part of Turkey.

People who says they are Turks because they are from Turkey are provocaters and/or without knowledge about them. They have the Syrian Arabic language, Syrian Arab culture and same history as Syrian Arabs. They are not accepted by most Turks and most Kurds, because they have big opinion differences about their soils and everybody thinks/talks then about what can/will happen during a civil war or after it.

Most Turkish Arabs are Syrian Alawites.

Outside that, there are around the 2 million Syrian Arab refugees and around the 100,000 Arab migrants.
