Mevlut Cavusoglu: We cooperate with UN to guarantee safe return of refugees, especially the Syrians
Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu,, said in a press statement yesterday that his country is currently witnessing better support from UN for safe return of refugees to their countries.
Mevlut Cavusoglu clarified that UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, came to Tukey lately, and they work together to safe return of refugees to their countries, especially the Syrians.
He pointed out that Turkey hosts the largest number of Syrians, referring that they start to cooperate with neighbouring countries that host Syrians, they are Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq.
Cavusoglu emphasized the need to pursue projects that create employment and provide returnees’ access to quality education and health care, as done in Syria’s northwestern Idlib region.
He added Europe has been against the reconstruction of Syria. “It’s true, rebuilding a country or a place while the war continues is unrealistic. We all have a clear stance on the Assad regime, but meeting basic needs on the ground is not rebuilding a country.
“The same is true for Afghanistan, but due to the current situation there, it is neither right nor possible to send people (back) immediately.”
He stressed “If this (migration) is a global problem, we must work together as the international community to solve it,”
