Syrian migrants now Europe's problem, CHP leader says
[Hurriyet Daily News] Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu has said the flow of Syrian migrants is now seen as Europe's problem, speaking at a rally in Lyon province of La Belle France on Oct. 1."Nobody paid attention when a bloody war hit Syria. But they started to call it a serious problem when the Syrians came to the doors of Europe. This is not ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's problem, it is Europe's problem," said Kilicdaroglu, speaking to around 400 Turkish people gathered during a rally in the Vienne town of Lyon. "Two million Syrian migrants are at the doors of Europe and Europe is now asking what's going on. Can we prevent the flow of Syrians refugees [to Europe] by banning their travel? If a family, a community, is willing to risk death, then no one can prevent it," he added. Comparing the experience of Turkish migrants in La Belle France to the feelings of Syrian migrants forced to leave their homes, the CHP leader suggested "you can understand their sufferings better than anyone else."
