Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that around 4 million of Syrian refugees hosted by Turkey could return home after Turkey will form safe zones in northern Syria.
Speaking in Istanbul, Erdogan also said nearly 300,000 Syrians had already returned and that he expected millions of Syrian nationals would return to the safe areas, Reuters reported.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced in December the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Syria and Erdogan subsequently said they had discussed setting up a 20-mile-deep safe zone in Syria along the border.
