More than 400,000 Syrian babies have been born in Turkey since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, said an official from Turkey's Interior Ministry.
"The population of Syrians in Turkey is a young one, as [only] around 100,000 among 3.6 million Syrians in Turkey are older than 60," said Abdullah Ayaz, who heads the ministry’s migration management department.
"Since the start of the crisis, more than 415,000 Syrian babies have been born in Turkey," Ayaz told a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) in Turkey’s capital Ankara.
Turkey hosts more Syrians than any other country in the world.
Ayaz said that Turkish officials are continuing work to make sure all Syrian children get an education.
