Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has warned Europe that without Ankara's help it could be "flooded" by waves of migrants and cutting off talks with the bloc would be far more damaging to Europe than Turkey.
"We are one of the factors protecting Europe. If refugees go through, they will flood into Europe and take it over, and Turkey prevents this," Yildirim said in comments broadcast live on television.
"I accept that cutting off ties with Europe would harm Turkey, but it would damage Europe 5-to-6 times more."

Make Turkey Pay For It.
Sounds like a “protection” racket to me.
“Nice Europe you got there. Wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to it.”
Turkey’s pretty savvy.
Who could have guessed by now that Europe would have a flood of immigrants coming over their borders?
Thanks Turkey. Only about five years too late.
Build a wall, defend it with Force and hit Turkey where it hurts if they want to play this game...
Turkey still trying to muscle its way into EU membership?
Sounds like a threat not a warning to me.
Send them to Germany.
Merkel loves them. Apparently German citizens do too.
Well D’oh where do the EU fools think the first load of Muslims came from
A “protection” racket is exactly what it is. Europe needs to ship its Sunni Arab “refugees” to Qatar & Saudi Arabia since they (along with their allies Obama & Hillary) are responsible for the genesis & subsequent financing/arming of ISIS with its creation of the refugee waves. The “refugees” who are not Sunni-Arab should be sent back to their countries of origin (e.g., Afghanistan, Sudan, Pakistan, Nigeria).
Mob threats.
I don’t get it - how does Turkey get away with ignoring international conventions, such as not allowing transit of migrants without visas and papers?
With our US press informing the nation, who knows what is true.
It’s just pretty stunning to me that our Western allies have chosen their poison, collapsed their nations, and opened the door to their own destruction, without firing a shot to defend themselves and their own children.
I simply don’t get it. Apparently, Turkey does.
Do the Turks understand that Europeans would be presented with the stark choice to either die as peoples or begin killing Moslems in mass numbers?
I don’t get it either.
Turkey is just trying to blackmail > IMO.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

They can move in with Hillary or Bernie. Or send them to CA when they secede. Preferably only LA and SF, then we can build another wall.
