Outcome of G20 summit hosted by Turkey announced

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has emphasized the importance of cooperation as to refugee crisis, and that said Bashar al Assad needs to leave for the sake of Syria's future in final declaration of G20 summit which was held in Antalya, Turkey.

The section as to refugees of the declaration said, "We will work with other countries to ensure long-term preparation as to immigration and refugee flows to increase their capacity to manage these flows. We also encourage private sector and individuals to join these international efforts".

Syrian crisis

"Protecting territorial integrity of Syria, clearing it of terror, making sure it will achieve a democratic, legitimate political structure are main goals of this process. [Syrian President Bashar al] Assad slaughtering his own people has no role in Syria's future.

"Assad has already lost his chance. Region-based issues cannot be solved without agreeing on a solution that everyone in the country will approve. International community now needs to act in efficient cooperation, share of burden and a sincere solidarity".
