What Turkey’s local leaders have to say about the Syrian refugee crisis

Syrian refugee children attend a class at a refugee camp in Nizip in Gaziantep province, near the Turkish-Syrian border March 17, 2014. Aleppo continues to bear the brunt of the civil war, in which about 140,000 people have died. Almost two years after rebels grabbed half of the city, they are now on the defensive, with government forces advancing on three sides. Turkey began building its refugee camps near the border in mid-2011, little knowing the war would last so long and bring such vast numbers of people, many of them women and children. More than 220,000 Syrians are living in the Turkish camps, but some three times that number struggle to exist outside them. Some try and eke out an existence around southeast Turkey, the country's poorest region. Picture taken March 17, 2014.

Cuban migrants walk after traveling en route from Costa Rica to El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico, before continuing their journey to the U.S., outside General Lucio Blanco International airport in Reynosa, in Tamaulipas state, Mexico, January 17, 2016. Mexico on January 13, 2016 said it plans to grant 20-day transit visas to a group of 180 Cubans who were chosen from thousands stranded in Costa Rica to continue on their long journey toward the United States. The Cubans will have to leave Mexican territory after the permits expire, the National Migration Institute said, adding the visas were given for humanitarian reasons.
