The Turkish President Erdogan and his Prime Minister Davutoglu, are driving a hard deal ! Due to this, all the Leaders at the meeting of the EU Council yesterday, were not ready to adopt the deal Turkey wanted. Progress was made, as some said after the Meeting !
The EU, Merkel in particular, wants Turkey to control the flow of migrants into the EU and in particular, to stop the flow via Greece !
The Turks refused the 3 billion Euros offered and got 6 Billion to cover costs. Could that not really later mean that Turkey will demand more Billions on a "drip-feed basis" to continue the agreement until the Middle East war ends ? As a garantee, will Turkey not also want a fast track promise to join the EU ?
After all, Turkey already has strong links with the EU ! There are now at least 3 million people of Turkish origin living in Germany. They started arriving there more than 50 years ago to help in the "Wirtschaftswunder".... the miraculous reconstruction of West Germany after the 2nd World War !
If more arrive in the EU now, will Germany accept to take them ALL as new guest workers ?
The real problem remains : "How can the War in the Middle East against the Islamic State be ended ?". Then the flow of Refugees will decline !
