This thesis analyzes the Hatay Arab Alevis’ accounts on the presence of the Syrian refugees in Hatay after Syrian crisis in 2012. This study questions the influence of Syrian refugees on Hatay Arab Alevis who constitute a national minority in Turkey but a local majority in Hatay from the perspective of Hatay Arab Alevis. This study focuses on Arab Alevis’ accounts of their social and economic relations with Syrians in Hatay within the context of political, social developments in Hatay. In order to understand perceptions, I utilize literature on ethnicity. Furthermore, to examine the perceptions of local Arab Alevis on Syrian refugees and the interactions between these two ethnic groups in social environment, ethnographic fieldwork is conducted in Hatay province using participant observation and interviews; I also made newspaper analysis.
