Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday warned Europe that
Turkey could not handle alone a new wave of Syrian refugees fleeing increased bombardment in the northwestern Idlib province.
Tens of thousands of Syrians have fled towards the
Turkish border following heightened regime and
Russian bombardment of the Maaret al-Numan region since December 16.
"Turkey cannot handle a new refugee wave from
Syria," Erdogan said, adding that over 80,000 people from Idlib had fled to areas near the Turkish border.
