Throwing up walls will not solve the world's refugee problems, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said today, after US President Donald Trump issued an executive order to suspend refugee arrivals.
"We cannot solve this refugee problem by putting up walls," Yildirim said during a press conference in Ankara with his British counterpart Theresa May when asked to comment on Trump's order to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough controls on travellers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
