Important to note that most of these returnees have been from southern Turkey-not Europe.

Yes--because (afaik) most of those in Europe are not fleeing the Syrian War in the first place

I think the most immediate difference is that southern turkey is a lot less easy to live in. Its also easier to travel back at short notice.

...and, it's home to far more Syrian refugees than any other country except Lebanon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugees_of_the_Syrian_Civil_War …

I believe that's true, though I have to point out that Europe's numbers are vastly under reported on that page. Maybe for the others too.

I need to see another source before I believe those are underreported in Europe. Remember, this only concerns *Syrian* refugees.

The fact that most of those European countries don't list to 2017 makes that obvious I'd think

A lot of those countries only reported to early 2015. While migration has slowed somewhat, two years is not a negligible amount of time.

for a war which peaked in 2016 and is unwinding? I would be very surprised if the numbers for Syrians spiked in that time

For migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, tho? Yeah, those numbers will def be way up during that time
