Turkey’s National Security Council has reiterated the need for establishing a safe no-fly zone in northern Syria in the interest of establishing peace in the war-torn country, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

    According to the statement released following a meeting held here last night, Turkey's offer to create a safe no-fly zone in Syria is the "right and significant" solution. The council called on the UN and international community to take more responsibility in order to ensure stability in the region. 

    It emphasized that terrorism constitutes a threat without making any discrimination on religion, language, race and nationality. It once again reiterated that Turkey will "resolutely" fight against any terror threats. 

    The statement also said Turkey's proposal -- supported by the EU-- on resolving the refugee issue should be implemented "as soon as possible".     Turkey is hosting the largest number of Syrian refugees in the world and has spent more than seven billion euros ($7.7 billion) on meeting their needs.
