ANKARA — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday visited his country's volatile border with war-torn Syria, urging citizens to keep welcoming refugees after deadly bombings early this month fuelled local resentment. "We should help our brothers in need. They are here because they believe in us and they have confidence in us," he told residents of Reyhanli, a small south-eastern border town where 51 people were killed and about 100 injured in twin car bombings on May 11.
