Hungary's foreign minister says the government is preparing to step up its opposition to the European Union's plan to relocate 120,000 asylum seekers.

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Tuesday that the government would seek support from all parties in parliament "to be able to take up the fight against the mandatory quota to take in migrants with the strongest authority possible."

Hungary last month was among four Eastern European countries to vote against the EU relocation plan. Though Hungary always rejected the idea, it initially said it respected the majority decision. Since then, however, opposition to the scheme has grown more vocal.

Speaking after a meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and leaders of the government and opposition parties, Szijjarto said everyone was opposed to the relocation quotas but there was no consensus about how the government should contest it.

Turkey has warned the European Union that 3 million more refugees could flee fighting in Syria as the EU struggles to manage its biggest migration emergency in decades.

Around 2 million refugees from Syria are currently in Turkey, and tens of thousands of others have entered the EU via Greece this year, overwhelming coast guards and reception facilities.

EU Council President Donald Tusk told lawmakers Tuesday that "according to Turkish estimates, another 3 million potential refugees may come from Aleppo and its neighborhood."

Tusk said that "today millions of potential refugees and migrants are dreaming about Europe."

He warned that "the world around us does not intend to help Europe" and that some of the EU's neighbors "look with satisfaction at our troubles."

Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann is heading to the eastern Aegean island of Lesbos with Greece's prime minister to view first-hand the impact of the refugee crisis and tour the facilities set up to handle the new arrivals, which number in the hundreds and sometimes thousands every day.

Faymann and Greece's Alexis Tsipras are due on Lesbos around mid-day Monday and are to tour the reception center set up to register and process the arriving refugees and migrants.

About 400,000 people have arrived in Greece so far this year, most in small overcrowded boats from the nearby Turkish coast. The vast majority don't want to stay in the financially troubled country and head north through the Balkans to more prosperous European Union countries such as Austria, Germany and Sweden.
