Turkey urged Friday the United Nations and international community to reinforce efforts to aid Syrian refugees after a record number of them poured across the border in less than two days. “We have spared no efforts to accommodate Syrians fleeing the violence back home, but if they continue to arrive at this rate, we will need the UN and international community to step in,” Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in televised remarks. Davutoglu did not specify what type of involvement his government is expecting from the UN. Some 2,800 Syrians crossed the border into Turkey in a 36-hour period to escape a helicopter-backed assault by Syrian troops, he told reporters.
