Explanatory note

The Syrians were forced to leave their country and seek refuge in neighbouring countries. More than half of them are in Turkey. In spite of Turkey's calls for resettlement there has been an inadequate response from the international community. Setting up hotspots outside Europe would not make resettlement more efficient.
