of using refugees as pawns to exert diplomatic pressure has there been a response from ankara. well ankara said that any criticism of his decision to stop migrants from leaving the country will is absolute rampant hypocrisy they say turkey has blemish record of dealing with the refugee crisis saying the country is hosting around 4000000 refugees 3 and a half 1000000 from syrian civil war and a half a 1000000 from conflicts from the region and it says despite hosting such a huge number of people the support it's getting from the international community has been very little and it says that he simply cannot host anymore refugees and he says those who want to leave are free to do so tell us more about the people caught up in this conflict in this international power play the migrants who are trying to

cross into the who are languishing there in turkey well they are from all across the region you have people from afghanistan or iraq even from various countries across africa are part of this thousands of people that are believe now to be on the greek borders and of course you have syrians as well and this just underscores how important a country turkey is to hosting the regions are refugees and white ciena so important to controlling those people leaving the country but. it cannot host these people anymore and there are expect to be growing numbers of refugees heading towards the border as makes clear it's not going to change its policy and this will and concerns among the humanitarian groups of the conditions they are facing it is still winter it's freezing at night many of the people there are families with young children even concerned about feeding these people what are they going to do

for sanitation as the numbers are expected to build up in the coming days ahead. now turkey is already hosting over $3000000.00 refugees from the syrian conflict as you mentioned dorrian more on the way is any progress being made in deescalating that conflict in syria well that's the thing that turkey will be looking for it's looking for international support face military operation inside if this is main this is much not aimed at the european union but the nato members within the european union who are looking for to support its call for military support in particular the point of anti aircraft missiles patriot missiles that is what i want in support of this military operation because it says unless that operation succeeds and makes the region of it leave stable turkey will face one and a half possibly 2000000 more refugees and i'm chris said that's not only turkey's problem that will be europe's problem dorian thank you very much correspondent
