Linking migrant issues to terrorism after Paris attacks is an 'effort to avoid humanitarian responsibility', says Turkey's President Erdogan

'The problems of the region cannot be resolved without a solution that can be accepted by everyone living inside Syria'

Turkey's President says linking migrant issues to terrorism is an "effort to avoid humanitarian responsibility".

His condemnation follows coordinated gun and bomb attacks on Paris, which killed 128 people in what French President François Hollande has called "an act of war".

Many were quick to blame Europe's ongoing refugee crisis for enabling the attack, with Poland saying it will retreat from an EU-wide quota commitment to relocate refugees across the continent.

"In the face of the tragic acts in Paris," Konrad Szymanski, Poland's incoming European affairs minister said, "we do not see the political possibilities to implement [this]."

Speaking at the G20 Leaders Summit in Antalya, Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: "Migrant issues and terrorism should not be conflated, linking the two is an effort to avoid humanitarian responsibility."

Speaking to reports, he later said: “The problems of the region, especially migrants and terrorism, cannot be resolved without a solution that can be accepted by everyone living inside Syria.

“The G-20 leaders have come to an agreement of fighting terrorist organizations without discriminating.”

President Erdogan has previously been criticised for his country's attacks on the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Iraq.

Turkish airstrikes in October brought an end to a two-year ceasefire between the group, which has been outlawed in Turkey, and the government.

Over the past two years, Turkey has become increasingly aggressive in its actions against the PKK and other opposition groups.
