Ankara will decide the methods, format and conditions for providing
humanitarian assistance to the refugees from Syria, Turkish Foreign
Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal said when commenting on the petition
on the US president Obama administration web page, urging Turkey to
open the Turkish-Armenian border, at least for refugees from Syria.
The Turkish official also said that his country had assisted Armenia
in sending humanitarian aid to Syria.
The authors of the petition that appeared on the webpage of the Obama
administration earlier in January ask the US authorities to call the
government of Turkey to open its border with Armenia for refugees
from Syria.
"There are 200.000 ethnic Armenians living in Syria and most of them
want to escape to Armenia where they can feel safe, comfortable,
find a job, a place to live and go to schools.
๔he road from Syria to Armenia goes through Turkey which closed its
border with Armenia in 1993. It creates a big problem for Armenian
refugees," reads the petition.
