As the Syrian refugee crisis grows more intense by the day, two nations actively involved in the issue, Turkey and Germany, have finally reached an accord, with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announcing on Monday that the two countries have agreed on a series of steps to control and possibly even halt the flow of refugees from Syria, according to Breaking News.
It was not just the issue of the influx of refugees from the Middle Eastern nation that was agreed upon by the two nations, however, as Davutoglu also stated that Germany and Turkey would be initiating a joint diplomatic initiative to put a definitive stop to the ongoing onslaught against Aleppo.
During a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the prime minister further declared that Turkey and Germany would carry out "joint efforts" for greater NATO involvement in the ongoing refugee issue by utilizing the organization's observation capabilities at the border with Syria and in the Aegean Sea, reported Newser.
As the notable development was being announced, however, another tragedy occurred off Turkey's coast, as migrant boats capsized once more, killing a total of about 33 people as of writing.
The first accident claimed 22 migrants after the boat capsized in the Bay of Edremit, while further south, another 11 were killed in yet another boat accident. More than a dozen migrants are currently missing, according to The Chicago Tribune.
