Syria war: Turkey lets refugees exit towards Europe
Groups of refugees and migrants are heading towards the EU after Turkey said it would not abide by a deal to stop them reaching Europe, BBC reported. Turkey's communications chief said the country had not received enough support in hosting millions of Syrian refugees.
The source reminds that the country’s decision followed a deadly attack on Turkish troops by Syrian government forces in northern Syria. The incident sparked fears of a major escalation involving Turkey and Syria's military ally, Russia.
Greece and Bulgaria - which border Turkey - have sent reinforcements to prevent people entering. Greek police have been deterring attempts to cross the border with tear gas, reports say, adding some 117 thousands refugees have already crossed the border.
