TL;DR Summary

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of Turkey's opposition, has promised to send all refugees back to their home countries if elected as president, accusing incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan of allowing ten million refugees into Turkey and putting "Turkish citizenship on sale to get imported votes." Turkey is home to an estimated four million refugees, many from Syria and other Arab countries. Kılıçdaroğlu will face Erdogan in a second round election on May 28, after neither candidate secured more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round.
