Turkey calls for 'no-fly zone' and 'safe zone' to help Syrian civilians

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged world powers to set up a “safe zone” in Syria; providing Syrians an area that was free from fighting and would help stem the flow of migrants.

Speaking at a gathering of leaders of the G20 in China, Erdogan said he had called specifically for a “no-fly zone” in talks with the Russian and US leaders.
