Earlier on Friday, MSF said that they would no longer accept funding from the European Union member states amid the bloc’s approach to the migration crisis.
"We take note of MSF’s decision. While not being a party to the EU —Turkey Statement, UNHCR has been consistently calling for a holistic and comprehensive response to the European refugee situation that puts solidarity and responsibility sharing between States and protection for refugees at its center," Spindler said.
The spokesman stressed also that the UNHCR has shared recommendations with Greek authorities to address existing gaps on registration, asylum and reception of refugees.
"In Turkey, UNHCR continues to advocate with the Turkish authorities to have access to all persons of concern, and to ensure enhanced protection for persons of concern," he said.
In mid-March, Brussels and Ankara agreed on a deal under which Turkey pledged to take back all undocumented migrants who arrive in the European Union through its territory in exchange for Syrian refugees accommodated in Turkey, on a one-for-one basis. In return, the 28-member bloc pledged to accelerate the Turkish EU accession bid and introduce a visa-free regime between Turkey and the Schengen Area.
