Turkish Deputy PM: Turkey had no choice but to take in 3 million refugees
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said on Sunday that Turkey had no choice but to take in 3 million refugees of Syria and Iraq so far, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

Speaking during a live program on a TV channel in Istanbul, Kurtulmus also accused the western world of watching the refugee crisis silently.

"We have taken in 3 million migrants of Syria and Iraq , but there is no other place for these people to go to," he said. " they will die under the bombardments and Turkey will contribute to this oppression by just watching like the western world does."

Stating that Turkey could not say "no" to the war victims, Kurtulmus added: "We do not have such an option. Or else, we would leave nearly all of those people to death."
