What people aren’t understanding is that a lot of this has to do with the “refugees” who fled Syria after the Kurds took over the territory and ISIS moved in. Syrians are the largest percentage of European “refugees,” and they were recently told that, in accordance with UN policy, they had to ask for refugee status at the first country...which was Turkey.
The Turks can’t accommodate that many refugees and wanted to get the territory back from the Kurds and resettle the Syrians in their own country.
So this is one of the few times I’ve ever agreed with the Turks. They’re still the “sick man of Europe,” the source of many wars, and should never have been allowed into the EU or NATO...but that’s a whole different matter.
Thanks. I am sure that he UN and EU can sort it out. Maybe Congress has a solution to offer - silence?
Its the Middle East. Its even sicker than Washington DC.
