Turkey Migrant deal - Visa free travel for 77 million Turks to EU by June 2016

An Isil suicide bomber who struck Istanbul has been named as Mehmet Ozturk. Five suspected accomplices have also been detained.The number of Turks fighting for Isil went up to 25,500 fighters last year according to their intelligence service. Turkey has played a duplicitous game where it used isil to its own advantage .  Given the nature of this organization it was only a matter of time before they turned on Ankara.The major isil training camps were in Turkey.

Erdogan thought he could use isil for his proxy war in Syria against the Kurds but it is now coming very much back to bite him. As to the EU €6 billion funded deal on returning new migrants to the country the Turks are smiling all the way to the bank. As long as they adhere to a 72 point plan they will secure visa free travel for all Turkish citizens throughout the EU by the end of the same month as our referendum namely June. If the Turks keep their pledges the next step is to accelerate Turkeys full membership of the EU.

This initally angered Cyprus who said they would use their veto against any such deal to allow the Turks to join the EU. However in a side deal they relented. The first deportations have not yet commenced as expected as the Greeks said they are now awaiting a promised force of additional personnel from the EU prior to putting it into operation.

The migrants meanwhile just keep on coming. The gangsters running Turkey meanwhile continue their murderous campaign against the Kurds plus arrests of anyone identified as enemies of the regime. Many academics are part of the crack down. Once the visa free travel deal comes into force thousands of those targeted by the regime are preparing to use it to seek asylum in the EU.

Meanwhile it has emerged that a team of Swedish lawyers are poring over the new deal and are preparing to challenge its legality. The group issued a statement saying  "Asylum seekers have a fundamental right to have their individual asylum claims reviewed in a safe country. Under this agreement there is a genuine risk that people will be denied the right to an individual assessment because it treats all refugees under a mass agreement," Louise Gunven, lawyer and board member of Lawyers Without Borders said. Also a Portuguese MEP Ana Gomes says she is going to take the deal to court also. It is turning into an ambulance chasers feeding frenzy.
