Erdogan says Turkey is not Europe's 'refugee warehouse'

He's playing a Trump card, turning his haughty head away from people who need asylum. Shame on him!

Where are all the Muslim countries in accepting refugees?

Makes no sense, Europe is not Turkey's refugee warehouse !

Mr. Erdogan, it is the duty of Muslim nations to accept refugees from other Muslim nations and practice the tenet of charity to others. (He claims to be a leader in the global Muslim community but when it comes to basic principles, he is just another hypocritical politician.)

Send the Afghans to Saudi Arabia.

Nope, he will ship off the coming millions of migrans pronto presto to Europe. Merkel and Macaron are already layoing out the welcome mats. Erdogan does not explain why exactly it is Europe where they all should go. Are there not many countries much more culturally similar to the the Afghani Sunni muslims? Such as, sunni muslim Turkey?

Because Erdogan doesn't care about anywhere else, and as long as he can get rid of them, he's happy.

You should be able to sympathize with that attitude, your people don't want to help those who have had their countries destroyed by your wars either. And they're your wars - they aren't even his wars, why would he want the refugees from them?

Not that I don't find that despicable. I'm just surprised to see you railing at him about something you guys do too.

I think Turkey has more refugees than any other country today and has taken in more than any other nation over the last 10 yrs. Turkey has millions already.

All the other Muslim countries need to be actively accepting refugees from Afghanistan if they aren't on that list above.

Lebanon has nearly 20% of their population that are refugees. Don't see how they can accept any others.

UAE, Saudis, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, China, ... need to be accepting. That's the failure I see.
