Two Remarks on the Turkey-EU Deal on the Migrant Crisis
2016/06/11 “The EU and Turkey have reached a transaction on the migrant crisis, which will see migrants returned to Turkey in exchange for aid and political concessions.” There are two practically significant points of this transaction: The European Union (EU) will no longer need to transaction with new and uncontrolled immigrants. In exchange for an “acceptable” migrant for the EU, Turkey will take back all the migrants, regardless of the nationality.
