Who will pay $53 billion for Turkey’s safe zone project?

Turkey wants to build some 400,000 housing units in northeastern Syria where Operation Peace Spring is taking place in order to resettle some 2 million Syrian refugees, half of whom currently live in Turkey and the other half already lives there. 

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his self-styled resettlement project during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) gathering of world leaders on Sept. 25. He said Turkey was planning to resettle some 1 million refugees following the completion of the first phase of the military offensive against the Syrian Kurdish Protection Units (YPG) operating under the umbrella of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
