President Barzani visits Syrian refugee camp
An estimated 29,000 Syrian refugees have entered Iraqi Kurdistan since Thursday in one of the largest crossings in Syria's two-year-old conflict and the influx is continuing, the United Nations said on Monday.
Accompanied by a delegation, Barzani visited Quru Gusik camp in Erbil, the overwhelming majority of whom are Kurds from northern and northeastern Syria.
Barzani ensured the refugees that Kurdistan is their second home till they will return their regions.
The refugees expressed their gratitude for the KRG's policy of receiving them, but also expressed concern over the total number of refugees rapidly increasing if the situation in Syria remains unresolved.
