Late Wednesday, hundreds of people took to the streets of the capital Ankara’s Altindag neighborhood, and chanting anti-Syrian slogans.
They threw stones at Syrian refugees' homes in the neighborhood and ransacked some shops.
The violence came after 18-year-old Emirhan Yalcin was stabbed to death by a group of Syrian refugees in the same neighborhood earlier in the day.
The number of Syrians in Turkey is estimated at over 3.6 million people and consists mainly of refugees of the Syrian Civil War.
As part of Turkey's migrant crisis, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in 2018 Turkey was hosting 63% of all of the Syrian refugees in the world.
More than a third of the refugees are hosted in Southeastern Turkey, near the Syria-Turkey border.
