The AGPS urged the Turkish Government in Ankara, to take decisive action and investigate the incidents as well as to facilitate the freedom of movement other right to PRS since they are enduring the same disastrous consequences of war just like the Syrian people, who have been granted rights of legal entry and right to work and reside.
