Thirteen people including seven gendarmerie officers were injured in a fight at a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey's southeast province of Mrdin, local Dogan News Agency reported on Sunday.
The fight broke out among the residents of the camp in the Nusaybin district of Mardin on Saturday night, which hosts about over 300 Syrian refugees.
The gendarmerie fired in the air and used tear gas to disperse the fighting, which lasted three hours. Those injured in the fight, including two women and two children, were taken to a state hospital in Nusaybin, said the report, adding that those refugees involved in the fight would be transferred to other camps by buses.
Last week, over 400 Syrians were relocated to tent-camps in Turkey's southeastern province of Gaziantep due to higher tensions between locals and the Syrian refugees.
According to official statistics, there are over one million Syrian refugees who fled the war-torn country to neighboring Turkey, most of them living in 22 refugee camps and cities in southeastern Turkey.
