"As of 13:50 on Monday, the number of migrants who left Turkey is 117,677," the statement said.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Thursday that Turkey would stop keeping hundreds of thousands of migrants in its territory after an air strike on Idlib in northern Syria killed 33 Turkish soldiers and injured many others.

Reported by UNHCR in 2018, Turkey is hosting 63.4% of all the refugees (from Middle East, Africa, and Afghanistan) in the world. As of 2019, Refugees of the Syrian Civil War in Turkey (3.6 million) are highest "registered" refugees. (ILKHA)
