Syrian migrants are not allowed to enter Turkey's Izmir. The reason is that Syrian migrants are using Izmir as a transit point for illegally entering the territory of European countries. More than 60,000 migrants were expelled from Izmir.
According to Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), Ankara has spent more than $5.5 billion to support the Syrian refugees.
