VB1-01233

The claimant's core evidence is contradicted by material inconsistencies and implausibilities undermining credibility; even accepting his BDP support, he is a low‑level/localized supporter and the evidence and country documents establish a reasonable internal flight alternative (Ankara, Istanbul, Antalya, Antioch); therefore on the balance of probabilities he is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection and removal to Turkey does not present the proscribed risks.
