Turkey may soon run out of room to house refugees fleeing the violence in Syria.
The United Nations may have to establish camps for them in a safe zone within the war-torn country, Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu said today.
Nearly 70,000 Syrians have already fled into Turkey to escape the uprising against president Bashar al-Assad during which 20,000 people have died.
