Turkey to allow 350,000 Syrians to return to homes in Afrin
TM
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım on Sunday said 350,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey would return to their homes in Syria’s Afrin region, where Turkey’s military has been conducting an operation against Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) militants, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
“Around 350,000 people from Afrin who we have been hosting in Turkey will return to their homes and lead their lives in peace there,†Yıldırım said during a speech in Kocaeli province.
The Turkish military and Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters on Jan. 20 launched Operation Olive Branch in the Afrin region of Syria against the PYD, which Turkey sees as the Syrian extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

So, the Kurds are there and I assume, these Syrian refugees left some time ago and now, they will repopulate this area. That must be the story-line at least. No comment.
