EU-Turkey summit: migrant crisis, high-stakes and unpleasant choices
March 7, 2016
EU-Turkey summit is expected to work out how to make it harder for asylum seekers to reach Europe. The meeting comes amid turmoil inside Turkey following a government raid on a leading opposition newspaper. At the EU-Turkey summit in Brussels on Monday, European leaders will call on Ankara to help stop refugees trying to reach Greece across the Aegean. The meeting will also likely seek to declare the so-called Balkan route closed – this is the main passageway for refugees. It stretches between Greece and wealthy Austria and Germany. Many see Monday’s summit as a turning point for Europe, as it struggles to tackle a crisis that is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster. There are more than 2.7 million registered Syrian refugees in Turkey, according to UNHCR estimates.
Update: Turkey and the EU have agreed in principle on an Ankara-proposed plan to deport migrants from Greece to Turkey while resettling the same number of Syrian refugees in the EU. In return, the EU has promised Ankara more funding, but not expedited membership.
