Turkey to Europe - 'Give Us Visas Or We'll Send More Refugees
2016-05-12
I'm trying to figure out how this should not result in a declaration of war, besides the fact we're talking about Europe...
Confirming precisely that, was a warning by Burhan Kuzu, a high-ranking deputy for Turkey’s ruling AKP party and former adviser to President Erdogan, who said that Ankara will send migrants back to the EU if the European Parliament won’t grant visa-free travel to Turkish citizens. Kuzu made several statements on Twitter in anticipation of Wednesday’s session of European parliament, at which visa exemption for Turkish nationals in the Schengen zone, as part of a migrant deal between Brussels and Ankara, was to be discussed.

"The European Parliament will discuss the report that will open Europe visa-free for Turkish citizens. If the wrong decision is taken, we will unleash the refugees!" in what was an unmistakable threat.

#4  Greece is not up to the job. But, the third Rome already shown an interest---if not in outright conquest (at least in present), then in teaching Johnny Turk a lesson.

#3  Good time for Greece to stand up. Offer to be the military shield for Europe in exchange for debt relief (and Constantinople).

#1  It gets better - Turkey is demanding the Euros turn over the €3 billion that the European Union pledged to help refugees in Turkey directly to the Turkish government rather than disbursing it through NGOs, as agreed upon.
