After Erdogan threats again with millions of refugees with djihadistes among them ,who will go to the Turkish border in order to cross towards Europe, the European Union called on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to respect the agreements he had previously signed in Brussels.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said through her spokesman on Monday that the European Union and Berlin expect Turkey to honor its agreement with Brussels on preventing migrants from reaching the bloc. "We are convinced of the value of the agreement and expect to honor it," Stephen Seibert told reporters from Berlin.
He also considered that if Ankara is not satisfied with the agreement, this should be addressed through talks between the two parties.
Moreover, he said, "We are undoubtedly facing a different situation from the spirit of the agreement. But we have not heard anything about its cancellation," considering that the European Union has "so far" adhered to its pledges contrary to the criticism of the Turkish side. He continued, saying that 3.2 billion euros were spent for Turkey out of the 6 billion amount according to an agreement concluded in Brussels in 2016, and that these funds should help Ankara to finance the reception of refugees, especially the Syrians fleeing the war, and prevent their going to the European Union.
The Turkish statements during the past few days regarding opening borders to refugees sparked a European alert. Greece accused Ankara of deliberately moving refugees towards its borders.
The European Union supported the Greek position to reject migrants.
European Commission President Arosula von der Leyen announced on Monday that she will visit the Greek and Turkish borders with the European Parliament and Council heads to support Athens, which faces an immigrant crisis at its borders.
Von der Layen, European Council President Charles Michel and European Parliament President David Sassouli will accompany Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on a visit to the border on Tuesday, the European Commission’s president said at a press conference in Brussels.
The Turkish President had warned at a time today that the "millions" of migrants and refugees would go to Europe, while intensifying his pressure on Western countries over the Syrian conflict. "Hundreds of thousands crossed the borders and the number will soon reach millions," he said.
Erdogan is seeking, through pressure with the refugee card, to obtain more European support, whether through financial aid, or through political support for his position in Syria, where his forces face fierce clashes by the Syrian regime forces. Thousands of migrants flowed over the weekend from Turkey to the Greek border, where Athens' security forces stopped them.
But with his manipulative game ,Erdogan exposes Europe and the rest of the world to a widespread of terrorist and djihadistes from ISIS and other terrorist groups to enter Europe middle East north Africa and other places ,spread terror violence and insecurity Which may lead to international conflicts and wars .
This situation worries Europe, which fears in the best cases and if not terrorism ,an immigration crisis such as the one it witnessed in 2015. Fears are also high in Germany, which welcomed more than one million immigrants between 2015 and 2016, which gave the "Alternative for Germany" party from the extreme right more power and adherents.
"The European lifestyle is based on solidarity, peace of mind and security, we must respond to legitimate concerns about the impact of illegal immigration on our economy and our society," Ursula von der Leyen wrote in Skincas' mission.
She said, "Our European lifestyle enables us to remain true to our values.
