Turkey gathers boats to ship migrants to Greece over EU anger
29 November, 2016
EUROPE
is on the brink of war as Turkey gathers fleets of boats to ship
3,000 migrants a day to Greece in retaliation over the European
Union’s (EU) vote to freeze accession talks.
Greek
intelligence officers have discovered the Turkish plans which they
say involve thousands of dinghies and motorboats already being
gathered along Turkey’s western coast.
The
analysts said Syrian migrants are preparing to board the vessels and
wash up on Greek shores “within a matter of weeks”.
National
intelligence officials estimate at least 3,000 undocumented migrants
could enter Greece each day under the plan.
They
said the plans are being supported by Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has
been battling the European Parliament since they voted to halt talks
to let Turkey into the union last week.
Although
the vote is non-binding the politicians have put up a political wall
between the EU and Mr Erdogan.
