The move happened one week after Turkish police found 36 bodies of migrants, including many children in Aegean sea as their boat capsized on the way to Greece. According to the statistics, around 2.2 million Syrian refugees and 300,000 Iraqi people arrived in Turkey to escape the war, turning the country into a center of refugees who find way to Europe.
