Turkey denies plans to establish asylum centers for Afghan refugees
The Turkish Foreign Ministry has issued a press release regarding reports claiming that the U.K. plans to establish asylum centers for Afghan refugees in third countries, including Turkey.
“The news in the UK press concerning that there are plans to establish an asylum processing center for Afghan asylum-seekers in Turkey do not reflect the truth,” the Ministry said.
“No official request has been conveyed to us from any country up until today. Should there be such a request, we would not accept it anyway,” the Ministry added. (ILKHA)
