We have guidance on temporary protection in various different situations. For instance—but this is a side remark—the Turkish authorities have offered temporary protection to Syrians. This is a temporary measure. If you can't really go into a long-term solution by means of resettlement, for instance, or through proper integration in a host country, we have interim measures so that at least.... The UNHCR encourages governments, as we did with the Turkish authorities for the Syrians, to give people a document—in this case the Syrians—in order for them to be protected and to have access to services for a limited period of time. This is then prolonged, normally, if the conflict has not come to an end and people cannot yet go back. That is a global policy, and it's applied in the region, at least for Syrians in Turkey.
