Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan urged world powers on Tuesday to help it resettle 1 million Syrian refugees very soon, accusing governments of moving more quickly to guard Syria's oil fields than its children.
Erdogan, whose country hosts 3.7 million Syrian refugees, the largest refugee population worldwide, said more than 600,000 should voluntarily join around 371,000 already in a "peace zone" in northern
Syria from which
Turkey drove Kurdish militia.
"I think the resettlement can easily reach 1 million in a very short period of time," Erdogan told the Global Forum on Refugees in Geneva.
