Turkish PM says country won’t be ‘concentration camp’ for migrants

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says his country is “not a concentration camp” and will not host migrants permanently to appease the European Union, which wants Turkey to stop the flow of people to Europe.

“We cannot accept an understanding like ‘give us the money and they stay in Turkey.’ Turkey is not a concentration camp,” Davutoglu says in a live television interview a day after meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the migrant crisis.
