Özet:

 The last event that can be characterized as a crisis, in which Syrians who fled their country to seek refuge in Türkiye following the outbreak of the civil war in Syria in 2011 were the actors, took place on February 27, 2020. This study aims to analyze the discursive construction of claim-based news by examining how Syrian refugees are positioned in the media, especially during such crisis periods. In this context, the article delves into which claims Syrian refugees are the subject of in the media, which claim-holders put forward these claims, the justification frameworks used, and the claim-holders perspectives on the refugees, through a claim analysis approach using critical discourse analysis. Thus, the aim is to address the issue at a relational level by examining the discourses of not only media actors but also different actors who appear as claim-holders in the news. The study has revealed that actors with different political positions, as well as the three different-ideology media outlets examined, present refugees as objects of conflict and in a passive position in news during crisis times.

 2011 yılında Suriyede başlayan iç savaşın ardından ülkelerinden kaçarak Türkiyeye sığınan Suriyelilerin aktörü olduğu, kriz olarak nitelendirilebilecek son olay 27 Şubat 2020 tarihinde yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışma, özellikle bu tür kriz dönemlerinde Suriyeli sığınmacıların, medyada nasıl konumlandırıldığını inceleyerek, iddia temelli haberlerin söylemsel inşasını analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda makale, eleştirel söylem analizi yöntemiyle Suriyeli sığınmacıların medyada hangi iddialara konu oldukları, bu iddiaların hangi iddia sahipleri tarafından dile getirildiği, kullanılan haklılaştırma çerçeveleri ve iddia sahiplerinin sığınmacılara karşı bakış açılarını iddia analizi yaklaşımıyla derinlemesine araştırmaktadır. Böylece yalnızca medya aktörlerinin değil; haberlerde iddia sahibi olarak yer alan farklı aktörlerin söylemlerinin de incelenmesiyle, konunun daha ilişkisel bir düzeyde ele alınması hedeflenmektedir. Çalışma, farklı siyasi pozisyonlara sahip olan aktörlerin ve aynı zamanda incelenen farklı ideolojide üç yayın organının kriz zamanlarındaki haberlerde sığınmacıları bir çatışma nesnesi olarak ve edilgen pozisyonda sunduklarını ortaya koymuştur.
