Threatens to Send

Islamic Terrorists to Europe
Greece's defense minister threatened to “flood Europe with migrants,” including potential members of the so-called Islamic State, unless Athens receives debt crisis support

Kammenos said Greece will unleash a “wave of millions of economic
migrants” on Europe unless the eurozone backs down on austerity
demands.
If
Greece is unable to convince the eurozone and International Monetary
Fund to continue payments on a £172billion bailout, the country will
go bust later this month, forcing it out of the European Union’s
single currency.
Greece’s
border with Turkey is the EU’s frontline against illegal
immigration and European measures to stop extremists travelling to
and from IS bases in Iraq and Syria.
If
the eurozone allowed Greece to go bust, Greece would grant EU travel
papers to illegal immigrants crossing its borders or to the 10,000
currently held in detention centers, Kammenos warned.
"If
they deal a blow to Greece, then they should know the migrants will
get papers to go to Berlin,” he said.
"If
Europe leaves us in the crisis, we will flood it with migrants, and
it will be even worse for Berlin if in that wave of millions of
economic migrants there will be some jihadists of the Islamic State
too.”
Kammenos
said the EU’s passport-free “Schengen” travel zone left the
eurozone vulnerable. The Schengen area is an area comprising 26
European countries – excluding Britain – that have abolished
passport controls at their common borders, allowing travelers to move
freely between countries.
"If
they strike us, we will strike them. We will give to migrants from
everywhere the documents they need to travel in the Schengen area, so
that the human wave could go straight to Berlin,” Kammenos said.
Last
week, Nikos Kotzias, the Greek foreign minister, told a meeting of
his EU colleagues that if Greece was forced out of the euro "there
will be tens of millions of immigrants and thousands of jihadists.”
EU
officials have taken the threats seriously, and have sought
assurances that no measures were being taken to open detention center.
Greece
and its creditors agreed two weeks ago to extend the bailout, but
troubled negotiations with the new government have caused creditors
to threaten to cut Athens off from funds by the end of March
Greek
Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has stressed that his country does
not intend to leave the Eurozone and all speculations to the contrary
are harmful to the ongoing negotiation process with the credдtors.
