In fact, Turkey’s government proposed such a sanctuary (calling it a “buffer zone”) four years ago. But the Turkish authorities never proved willing to turn words into action – not that they received any encouragement.
事实上，土耳其政府在四年前就提出了建设这样一个避难所（称之为“缓冲区”）。但土耳其当局从未表现出将说辞转化为行动的意愿——它们并非没有受到任何鼓励。事实上，直到最近，美国和大部分北约国家仍坚决反对这一方案。
