Turkey Dep. PM: Since 2011 We’ve Accepted 3 Million Syrian Refugees; ‘We Provide Them Safe Garden’

KURTULMUS: "Well, actually it's a very tough situation for Turkey during the last five years, starting from the March 2011. They are under the pressure of the refugees from Syria. We have accepted already more than three million refugees, which is probably equivalent of the total refugees the United States accepted during the last 50 years."
CUOMO: "Right."
KURTULMUS: "So it is a really huge burden on Turkey, but it is because of our ties with the Syrian people we accepted them. They provide them safe garden in the lands of Turkey. We already spent more than $15 billion U.S. dollars for the refugees."
