Schulungsort Kilis

Training location Kilis

Most of the refugees are staying in communities near the Syrian border, like in Kilis.

Kilis is located 90 km from Aleppo and 30 km from the Syrian border. According to the mayor of Kilis, Hasan Kara, there are around 100.000 inhabitants and 200.000 refugees. In 2016 the town was repeatedly attacked by missiles. Now, in 2017, the security situation relaxed after Turkey stopped the military use against the IS in Syria.

Turkish soldiers secure the outpost to the Syrian military with a high-security wall.

The training center in Kilis

The training center in Kilis is located on the highest mountain of Kilis, where mayor Hasan Kara will open a kind of adventure park. Just as in Ankara, the training location was rebuilt completely within 3 months and offers a training location to at least 400 to 500 participants people a year.
