A deal has been struck with Turkey to return all new migrants crossing from Turkey into the Greek islands with the costs covered by the EU, and to lift visa requirements for Turkish citizens by, at the latest, the end of June 2016.The EU is giving Turkey an initial €3 billion in exchange for taking back Syrian migrants, followed by another €3 billion, will lift the visa requirements for Turks entering the EU within three months, and will open talks to let Turkey join the EU as soon as possible i.e as Britons go to the polls on June 23, the EU will be scrapping visas for Turkish migrants and accelerating the process for Turkey to join the EU
This is pure and simple a mugging of the muppets that run the EU. Turkey can see that Europe is up sh creek and that they hold the trump cards. The flow of migrants across to Lesbos and Kos will not stop and very few will ever get sent back. Just imagine the riots that will break out when trying to round them up. Meanwhile Turkey gets £4.5 billion of which £0.5 billion is ours and gets to shift a whole bunch of undesirables out of their country. Meanwhile the underhand buying and selling of ISIS oil, the destruction of the Kurds and the ability to further infiltrate Europe with a religion based on the destruction of Western civilisation goes on unabated.
The sooner we’re out of this mess the better!
Don’t go ballistic on that info. First Turks if gain free visa travel will be like Macedonians, Americans or Argentinian -up to 90 days free visa(tourist) travel, without rights to work, live or settle in any EU country. Bulgaria has agreement with Turkey since 1993 and it work fine. No Turks are going to come and steal your job, if anyone overstay 90 day you can deport them immediately, period.
Turkish EU membership its just a talk, its not going to happen, EU leaders agreed on opening chapters but no time table. Also Turkey covered 12 chapters from total of 35 I think, while is criticized for its lack of press freedom. Turkey will not be accepted in EU anytime soon or at all. If you think Bulgaria and Greece will let Erdogan Turkey into EU you are very much mistaken.
Just 2 months ago the leader of Bulgarian “turk” party(Bulgarian muslims) Lyutvi Mestan was sacked from the party and parliament for defending Turkey and heaving pro Turkish views.
Just one example how though their negotiations will be.

No money on the planet will buy Greek or Cyprus support!
So please don’t start with scaremongering people, because Turkey its not going to be member of EU and Turks will not be able to live or work in EU.
