Explanatory note

This is a baseless discussion as nobody is in a position to assess Turkey's "safety" for Syrians who found refuge and are accomodated in Turkey since 2011. Turkey's tremendous efforts for the well-being of more than 3 million Syrians are obvious and acknowledged by the international community.
