Having iftar at a container city in Malatya, a southeastern province of Turkey, where Syrians take shelter, Bekir Bozdag said, "Despite the existence of United Nations (UN) there are wars and bloodshed in the Middle East and in many parts of the world. While Assad regime kills his own citizens, the UN only counting the dead." He said there was around 300,000 Syrians taking shelter in Turkey, and added, "Their every need is met by Turkey. International society only covers a few. In such situation, the international community should do more but unfortunately they did not aid enough to this tragedy."
