New York, (IINA) - The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon thanked on Monday the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu for his country’s efforts in helping refugees fleeing from war and persecution, Anadolu Agency reported.
According to a statement from the office of the UN spokesperson, Ban and Davutoglu met on the sidelines of the 70th UN General Assembly in New York. "The Secretary General warmly thanked the prime minister for his country’s very generous support to the huge influx of refugees from Syria", read the statement.
A four-and-a-half year civil war in Syria has claimed more than 250,000 lives and made Syria the world's largest source of refugees and displaced people.
The UN refugee agency said that 95 percent of the latest million Syrian refugees have gone to Turkey, which has become the world's largest refugee hosting country as it is home to more than 2 million registered Syrian refugees.
