Turkish Red Crescent launched initiatives to set up a second tent city in the region. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey was following the developments very closely, and added, "we especially attach importance to Friday and Sunday." Meanwhile, Turkey Office of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees stated that it was ready to help if the government asked. Turkey, which decided not to close its doors against migration move from Syria, is discussing about the measures which will be taken during a worst case scenario. A buffer zone may be shaped in the border, if hundreds of thousands of Syrians want to take shelter in Turkey.
