Nuh Yilmaz quoted by Newsweek’s Blog The Daily Beast

Nuh Yilmaz quoted by Newsweek’s The Daily Beast on possibility of safe zones and refugee crisis written by Mike Giglio. You can reach the whole story here: “Turkey Closes Its Borders to Syrian Refugees.”

 

“Turkey really wants to see a buffer zone right now on its borders, but that cannot happen unilaterally,” adds Nuh Yilmaz, a foreign-policy analyst based in Istanbul.

Yilmaz notes that the number seems to have little practical weight: “I think Turkey has the capacity for more than that,” he says, adding that that Turkey hosted 500,000 refugees during the Iraq war.
