Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has confirmed 18,000 migrants recently crossed Turkish borders to seek shelter in Europe after the country "opened the doors" for them to travel outside. The number might hit 25,000 to 30,000 soon. Turkey can’t deal with the huge number people fleeing Syria's civil war right now. Turkey has given shelter to 3.7 million Syrian refugees, along with migrants from other countries.
