Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Saturday that Syrian armed forces should withdraw from an area of Syria near the border with Turkey so that Turkish armed forces can resettle as many as 2 million refugees in the region.
A spokesman for Erdoğan told The Associated Press that the resettlement will be impossible without the withdrawal of both Kurdish and Syrian forces from the region, as the refugees currently being housed in Turkey do not wish to return to areas controlled by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.
Turkey will also discuss the issue with Russia, the spokesman said.
