Ankara rejected Liz Truss' tentative plan to send unwanted asylum seekers to Turkey hours after it was made public, the FT reported.

The British foreign secretary, who claims to be the next Conservative prime minister, wanted to begin talks about sending migrants to countries such as Turkey after a deal with Rwanda, which received more than 100 million pounds in exchange for accepting deported refugees who cross the English Channel in small boats.

Turkey responded to the offer by warning that the country would not become a "refugee camp or border guard" for any other country.

"It is therefore out of question for Türkiye to shoulder more burden or to be a part of an initiative, at third countries' request, that does not comply with international regulations on right to asylum. Türkiye will neither be a refugee camp nor a border guard for any country. Türkiye will in no circumstances take over third countries' international obligations,"the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanju Bilgic said.

More than 14,000 refugees have crossed the English Channel in small boats this year, increasing political pressure on the government to address the problem. Despite the deal with the Kigali government, no refugees have yet been sent to Rwanda, in part because of successful legal proceedings.
