I doubt they are fearing for their life in Turkey. They definitely will make more money in Europe but it's not like Turkey is putting them in gas chamber or something.

To suggest that these people are out to make a quick buck is just -- pure snark.

And to think that just because Turkey isn't currently running gas chambers that these people have nothing to worry about is, unfortunately, very naive:

Amnesty International has slammed Turkey for expelling dozens of Syrian refugees to their war-stricken country, saying the move is in violation of international law.

According to a new report released by the UK-based rights group, a total of about 80 Syrian asylum seekers, who were previously held incommunicado in a detention center in the Turkish city of Erzurum, were forced to leave for their country, with 50 more people facing deportation.
