Turkey is ready "if necessary" to let in Syrian refugees trapped on its border after fleeing heavy fighting, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said .
Officials said more than 30,000 Syrians have spent the last few days waiting at Azaz, on the Syrian side of the border, after fleeing a major Russian-backed Assad offensive on the northern city of Aleppo, al-Jazeera reported .
"If they reached our door and have no other choice, if necessary, we have to and will let our brothers in," Erdogan added.
Another 70,000 may head for the frontier if Russian air strikes and Assad regime advances continued in Aleppo, he added.
