People are moving from place to place to find peace and happiness. The construction of the 295-kilometers and three meters height wall made of concrete blocks along the border of Turkey and Iran will be finished by 2023. Turkish government has already built the wall that was 190 kilometers long as of April 2022. This wall stopped almost 103,000 refugees from Afghanistan. 3.7 million refugees from Syria are already in Turkey. Turkey cannot look after more refugees. These refugees have run away from their countries. Refugees from Afghanistan are afraid of the Taliban and so they left the country. Turkish President Erdogan also said EU should also take the responsibility for Afghans refugees and warned that his country won’t become Europe’s “refugee warehouse.”
