1. Turkey
Number of refugees: 2.5 million
Finally, we’re at the top of the list of countries that have the most refugees – Turkey – the country that sits on two continents. With a population of its own of over 75 million people, Turkey adds an extra 2.5 million refugees. The country borders Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria and has become a popular destination for refugees.
The local government has been rather open to these people, knowing that many of them actually seek to get help from various western European countries rather than stay put. The number is expected to grow quite a bit in 2016 given the influx of Syrian refugees, especially since many of those that managed to go further into Europe were sent back to Turkey instead.
That being said, these are the 10 countries that have the most refugees.
