Turkey will keep its doors open to refugees

Turkey will continue to keep its doors open to refugees, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in a statement on Thursday, as he urged European countries to take their share of the burden.

 

Turkey has borne the brunt of the humanitarian fallout from the war in neighbouring Syria, taking in around 2 million refugees. It has also become a jumping-off point for many migrants seeking to reach Europe, including a young toddler who drowned this week, making headlines around the world.
