Germany's Merkel says EU to take stock of refugee crisis mid-Feb
The chancellor, facing intense domestic pressure to stem the flow of migrants into Germany, said she wanted a European solution to the crisis and that Turkey's role is also key.
Her government would bring new proposals on tackling the refugee crisis to a European Union summit in mid-February.
"Then we can draw an interim conclusion, then another interim conclusion, and then we will see where we stand," she added.
