Turkey's Erdogan threatened to flood Europe with migrants - Greek website

BRUSSELS

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan threatened in November to flood Europe with migrants if European Union leaders did not offer him a better deal to help manage the Middle East refugee crisis, a Greek news website said on Monday.

Publishing what it said were minutes of a tense meeting last November, the euro2day.gr financial news website revealed deep mutual irritation and distrust in talks between Erdogan and the EU's two top officials, Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk.

The EU officials were trying to enlist Ankara's help in stemming an influx of Syrian refugees and migrants into Europe. Over a million arrived last year, most crossing the narrow sea gap between Turkey and islands belonging to EU member Greece.

Tusk's European Council and Juncker's European Commission declined to confirm or deny the authenticity of the document, and Erdogan's office in Ankara had no immediate comment.

The account of the meeting, in English, was produced in facsimile on the website. It does not state when or where the meeting took place, but it appears to have been on Nov. 16 in Antalya, Turkey, where the three met after a G20 summit there.

Turkey is at war with the rest of NATO.

The invading “refugees” are the shock troops.

Turkey needs to be thrown out of NATO and sanctions must be imposed.

We should overrun Turkey with Christians.

And recognize Kurdistan — a large part of it is in Turkey — and arm them fully and directly.

Erdogan is Obama’s bestie. Bet a dollar he likes this plan. In fact, it could have been Obama’s idea.

No, Turkey is at war with Syria and Russia, and is basically telling Europe, you better help out militarily, or at least economically, or we will not be able to handle all of these people and we will send them towards you. It is a very intense situation, especially with the US lack of leadership and It’s upcoming election, Turkish and Saudi threats to invade Syria, Iran’s nuclear program, and Russian defense of Syria.

By flooding Europe with million of invaders, Turkey is declaring war on the rest of Europe.

EU bosses have already sold out several European countries, packing them with millions of enemy Muslims

so sorry to see .. there are still some good French, Germans, Belgians, Italians, Swedes, Norse, Brits...all being sold out by their ruling elites

So why didn’t Europe threaten to level all of Erdogan’s residences? Oh wait it’s Europe, never mind.

Either the elites don’t know or don’t care about the Trojan Horse situation.
