short by Shailesh / on Friday, 20 August, 2021
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday called on European nations to shoulder responsibility for Afghans fleeing the Taliban and warned that his country won't become Europe's "refugee warehouse". "Europe...can't stay out of (the refugee) problem by harshly sealing its borders," Erdoğan said. "Turkey has no duty, responsibility or obligation to be Europe's refugee warehouse," he added.
