Türkischer Offizieller: Türkei wird syrische Flüchtlinge nach Europa ziehen lassen





27 February, 2020



After an airstrike on a Turkish army command staff in the Syrian province of Idlib on Thursday evening, an unspecified government official now declared that Turkey can no longer stop the flow of refugees and will therefore let him move on.

At the security meeting urgently called by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it was apparently decided to open the borders to the European Union for Syrian refugees for at least 72 hours. As a senior Turkish government official told Reuters, the police, border guards and coast guard were instructed to let the people go.

The Turkish newspaper Hürriyet also reports on this order and other government-related journalists such as Ragip Soylu.
