Turkish Deputy PM: global community should act in Syria in accordance with promises

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak gave a speech at the UN conference in Geneva about the humanitarian crisis developing in Yemen, calling the global community to attention and urging them to assist people in Yemen.

Kaynak reproached the international community for its discord and mistrust as well as the ensuing incapacity to undertake decisive steps, the Daily Sabah reported.

He also reminded the international public that Turkey had been buffering the Syrian crisis by offering shelter for more than three million refugees and spending more than $25 billion over the course of six years. 

He underlined that other countries should live up to their responsibilities and act in accordance with their promises to prevent Turkey from shouldering most of these international concerns alone.
