The number of Syrian refugees in Turkey is about 3.4 million. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last Thursday that state institutions and civil organizations have built brick houses in northern Syria.

Turkey, Russia, Iran and Syria announced their agreement to facilitate the return of Syrians to their homeland "in a voluntary, safe and honorable manner" in a meeting in Moscow on May 10. The Turkish foreign minister pointed out that the issue was addressed with the Syrian regime within the framework of the quadripartite track.
