Our goal is for at least one million of our Syrian brothers to return to the safe zone we will form along our 450 km border.

We are saying we should form such a safe zone that we, as Turkey, can build towns here in lieu of the tent cities here. Let's carry them to the safe zones there, give us logistical support and we can go build housing at 30 km (20 miles) depth in northern Syria. This way, we can provide them with humanitarian living conditions.

Because it's those who rule the state who are accountable to the citizens.
