Turkish FM to attend UNHCR meeting in Switzerland

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will visit Geneva to participate in a meeting about Syria organized by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Foreign ministers from Iraq and Jordan and Lebanon's social affairs minister will also attend the meeting on Wednesday, said a statement released by the Turkish Foreign Ministry. The meeting aims at drawing the international community's attention to the situation of Syrian refugees who had to flee the more than three-year-old war. The topics to be discussed will include the strategies which will be followed by the international community and the countries hosting the Syrian refugees. Since the uprising in March 2011 in Syria, more than 100,000 people have been killed and the number of people who had to flee to neighboring countries has hit 2 million.
