Brussels/Beirut, Rabi'II 27, 1437, Feb 6, 2016, SPA -- Turkey is expecting an overall 60,000 refugees to arrive from the besieged Syrian province of Aleppo, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Saturday, following criticism that his country was refusing to let people in, dpa reported. The exodus has come amid a major attack on rebel-held areas of the northern province by the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, backed by Russian airstrikes. "We still keep this open border policy for these people fleeing from the aggression of the regime, as well as airstrikes of Russia," Cavusoglu said in Amsterdam, after talks with his EU and Western Balkan counterparts on the migration crisis. "We have received already more than 5,000 of them. Another 50,000-55,000 of them are on the way and we cannot leave them there alone," the minister added. -- SPA 21:27 LOCAL TIME 18:27 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
