(AFP) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday discussed the migrant crisis and the situation in Syria’s rebel enclave of Idlib, with the leaders of France, Germany and Britain.
The four-party video conference that involved French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson came after Turkey decided last month to re-open its border for refugees trying to reach Europe.
The move sparked tensions with Brussels, and with neighbouring Greece, when thousands of migrants massed on the Turkish-Greek border.
“Humanitarian assistance for Idlib, and the refugee issue” were on the agenda according to the Turkish presidency, along with other issues such as fighting in Libya.
