More than 130,000 Syrian Kurds have crossed the border into Turkey in the past three days as they flee the advance of Islamic State militants, according to the Turkish Deputy Prime Minister.
Numan Kurtulmus said his government was now 'prepared for the worst scenario, which is an influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees'.
About 45,000 Syrian Kurds have crossed the border into Turkey after an advance by Islamic State militants, the Turkish Deputy Prime Minister has said.
"Around 45,000 Syrian Kurds have crossed the border as of now from eight entrance points along a 30 km distance from Akcakale to Mursitpinar since we opened the border yesterday," Numan Kurtulmus told CNN Turk television.
