Turkey
and Germany have agreed on a set of actions to deal with the Syrian refugee
crisis, including a joint diplomatic initiative pointing to stop attacks
against Aleppo, Syria's largest city.
Officials from the two
countries announced on Monday in Ankara they would also push to curb what they
called illegal migration.
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel, who was in the Turkish capital for talks on how to reduce the influx of
refugees into Europe, said after discussions with Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's
prime minister, that she was "not just appalled but horrified"
by the suffering caused by Russian bombing in Syria.
Merkel said Turkey and
Germany will push at the UN for everyone to keep to a UN resolution passed in
December that calls on all sides to halt without delay attacks on the civilian
population.
