In the draft resolution, paragraph 13.2, replace the words "return to" with the following words:

"continue pursuing"

Explanatory note

Turkey has been pursuing open-door policy since the onset of the Syrian crisis. There are no cases of forced returns. The fact that there are already 3 589 384 Syrians in Turkey clearly demonstrates that Turkey pursues an open-door policy.
