“I appeal to Russia and Iran. We have no problems with you in Syria, we are not aimed at either Russia or Iran ... We are fighting for our national security. It is we, not Russia, not Iran and other countries, who accept 3.7 million refugees, ”Erdogan said during a speech in Ankara.

He added that Turkey "can no longer carry this load."

“Either we will bring these people a decent life on our land, or each will take upon himself his share of this burden. Now the period of unilateral victims is over, ”the Turkish president emphasized.

Earlier, Erdogan did not agree to close borders with EU countries for Syrian refugees.

At the same time, he expressed the hope that after negotiations with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on March 5, a truce will be reached in Moscow in Syrian Idlib.
