EU, Turkey hope to get breakthrough migrant deal by March 17

And here we go black mailing by Turkey is now in full swing they have run out of cards to play.

Criminal. "We'll stop sending the flood of migrants once you pay us a massive ransom."

Kick them out of NATO until they remove Erdogan.

This only reinforces the fact that Turkey is an Asian country.

Enough of this Turkish blackmail: how about Turkey stops the flow of invaders immediately or its tariff-free access to the EU is ended? As long as the crook and would-be dictator Erdogan is in charge Turkey has no chance of joining the EU.

The rich, selfish, uncooperative, islamic Gulf Nations should toss a couple fat checks their way. Aren't the refugees muslims after all?

And...weapons...

Turkey and Gulf countries are using Syrian refugees to put pressure on Europe to step down and toppling ASSAD,as a main reason for theses numerous refugees-up to their claims-but the truth neither Ardogan,nor Gulf countries care a clue about Human rights or Refugees tragedy.Ardogan will keep asking Europe for money to keep refugees away from Europe.Ardogan was the mastermind of trafficking terrorists through his borders to fight in Syria.Its well known he is supporting ISIS and buy stolen oil of Syria for very cheap price,he used Isis before to fight Kurds in Kobani.Turkish newspaper revealed before photos showing containers of weapons going to ISIS through Turkish borders supervised by Turkish intelligence,he couldnt deny photos,but instead he accused newspaper of revealing top confidential national security information,exposing Turkey to dangers!!He will keep playing with refugees card with Europe,payment against keeping refugees away from Europe.

Oh they are tossing checks already... Saudi Arabia is not only financing the building of 2000 new mosques all over Germany, they are also happy to provide the Wahabi imamas to teach islam in them.

Was that what you referred to?

Germany welcome refugees, was that forgotten ?

No pun WilliB. Got a link though? The way liberal-hippy Merkel opened up Germany, I can see the mosque thing happening. But 2000?

I read sometime back (sorry forgot where) how the the muslims in France converted a couple hundred vacant Catholic churches, to mosques, throughout France. It didn't happen overnight, but it happened.

PEGIDA needs to put an end to that madness.

So for every illegal migrant the EU returns to Turkey, they get a legal one back from Turkey and then hopefully a genuine Syrian refugee with a genuine Syrian passport. Scores of migrants, mostly young male fortune seekers, have disappeared in Western-Europe and these numbers will go up now, for the ones already in Europe won’t be too happy with the prospect of having to move to Turkey, so good luck returning them there. Also, who says migrants won’t then show up at the borders of other countries?
