Turkey has begun building a two-metre high wall along its border with Syria in an attempt to stem border security and smuggling problems.
The move comes as the United Nations forecast that another two million refugees will flee the Syrian conflict in 2014.
Turkey is sheltering around a quarter of the two million people who have already fled Syria's conflict.
Construction workers have begun digging foundations for the wall in Nusaybin, a border district six miles (10 km) north of the Syrian town of Qamishli.
