Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Monday (August 20th) that Turkey cannot handle more than 100,000 Syrian refugees and pressed for an international solution, AFP reported.

In comments published by Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Davutoglu proposed that the United Nations establish a buffer zone inside Syria to contain the number of refugees, currently estimated at 70,000.

The mass exodus to Turkey has increased following a Syrian army offensive in the northern city of Aleppo.

Davutoglu also said Turkey will participate in a UN Security Council meeting on August 30th to study the humanitarian situation in Syria and neighbouring countries.

    One of the most important ways with which all countries of the world, in general, and the Arab countries, in particular can provide real help to the State of Syria and the Syrian people is the provision of military assistance from heavy weapons, tanks, to missiles and many other military aid to the Free Syrian Army who has split from their betrayer rival whom they opposed and they stand with the struggling people against the oppressor, Bashar Al-Assad, and his thieves, immoral associates and snipers. They fought for the Syrian people and are engaged in a war with their rival, the Syrian army, in order to maintain the safety of the Syrian people from the massacres caused by the villain, Bashar Al-Assad. So the provision of military assistance to the Syrian army is considered a serious and effective step in providing real assistance to the Syrian people who have been much oppressed by their dictator President, Bashar Al-Assad. Also, all the States of the world, in general, and the Arab States specifically, must define the political and psychological pressure against the current Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad until he announces his immediate resignation from the Presidency of the Syrian State, which is suffering from a mass destruction in all sense of the word.
