European Union: ‘Committed’ To Opening Borders to 75 Million Turkish Citizens as ‘Soon as Possible’

The European Union (EU) remains “committed to” giving, and is in the later stages of securing, Turkish citizens visa-free travel in the bloc, as well as handing an extra three billion euros to migrants in the nation by next year, a commissioner has said. The EU’s Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos explained that all elements of the migrant deal with Turkey were moving ahead, after Turkey agreed to stem the tide of Middle Eastern migrants in return for billions in aid and the opening Europe’s borders to Turks.

He made the comments to Turkish paper Hurriyet ahead of a visit to the nation. In a Turkish language version, he is quoted, according to a rough translation, as saying the deal in its “last level”.

Pressed on when he expects progress on visa-free travel, in the English version of the interview, Mr. Avramopoulos stressed that Ankara must “meet the remaining benchmarks”, including revisions to Turkey’s authoritarian anti-terror law.

“The EU is committed to fulfilling all elements of the EU-Turkey migration deal, including visa liberalization, and the bloc continues to encourage Turkey’s efforts to complete the delivery of all the outstanding benchmarks of the Visa Liberalization Roadmap as soon as possible,” he said.

Adding: “At this point in time, all parties must avoid whatever could undermine our cooperation and focus on mutual interests.”

The real invasion begins.

Next will follow the same “right” of Turks, as members of the EU, to choose to go work and settle, and become residents and citizens of any and all EU states.

As the EU proceeds on this agenda of European suicide, you can expect more “Brexits” will follow, starting with some “Eastern” European countries, but growing from there.

I lived in Turkey as a teen for a couple of years back in the 70’s; long before things got weird for Americans. Besides some odd cultural differences like it was perfectly normal for some guy to cop a pinch on a girl’s bum; they were very westernized in the cities. The country was completely different. Like going back in time different. I used to go camping in old castles and other ruins out in the country and the local villagers looked at us like we were spacemen or something equally odd.

This Ahole, Erdogen, has been taking the country backwards toward the more radical side of Islam which is bad for everyone. The people in Turkey and those who visit; not that many do anymore due to the terrorist killing tourists. Maybe that’s changing; I don’t know for sure.

If Turkey had stayed on that track I would have no problem with them having unfettered access to Europe because they would be fully European; at least in the cities. Country folk tend to like things to stay they way they are for generation after generation. Much like the cave dweller in Afghanistan. They have been living like that for well over a millennium.

Since Erdogen rolled back time though; there’s no way I could endorse this move allow them easy access. We know they already cross the borders illegally if they like. The opium will flow freer into the EU and so will the hashish.
