Europe Will Pay Turkey €3 Billion To Halt Refugee Exodus
In the aftermath of last week's dramatic events which have seen Turkey make a unilateral breach of NATO's unwritten rules of engagement by taking down a Russian jet, coupled with an assault on civil right and expression of speech when two journalists were arrested for exposing Turkish arms smuggling to Syria, culminating with the assassination of a prominent enemy of the state on live TV, one would expect that the "democratic, humanistic" western countries would at least issue a harsh condemnation of Erdogan's behavior.
That won't happen: instead, the European Union will pay Turkey $3.2 billion to help it stop the flow of refugees to Europe from the conflict in Syria, 2.2 million of whom are currently in Turkey and to prevent Europe's worst refugee crisis from getting even worse.
In addition, the banana republic that is Turkey will be one step closer to joining the European Union as EU accession talks are restarted. As AFP reminds us, Turkey is the main gateway for migrants and refugees to reach Europe and Brussels has been wooing Ankara for months to secure its cooperation, but relations remain difficult and the devil will be in the details of the deal they will reach on Sunday.
According to Reuters, Turkey will help the European Union handle the flow of migrants that has called into question the future of Europe's passport-free travel in exchange for cash and restarting stalled talks on EU accession, draft conclusions of an EU-Turkey summit said.
"Both sides will, as agreed and with immediate effect, step up their active cooperation on migrants who are not in need of international protection, preventing travel to Turkey and the EU, ensuring the application of the established bilateral readmission provisions and swiftly returning migrants who are not in need of international protection to their countries of origin," the draft, seen by Reuters, said.
In exchange, Turkey will get 3 billion euros of initial aid to handle the refugees on its territory. The amount might be adjusted later on depending on developments, the draft said.
More rewards for Turkey are forthcoming: the EU would also open in December the next chapter of negotiations with Turkey in its accession talks to the EU, which have been dragging on since 2005, and prepare further chapters for discussion in the first three months of next year.
The EU also aims to lift the need for visas for Turks traveling to the EU in October 2016 if Ankara meets certain criteria specified in an agreed roadmap, said the draft, which may still be changed after the talks which start at 1500 GMT.
Ironically, neither Turkey's shooting down of the Russian jet nor president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's decision to skip the summit will derail the process, which is now on auto pilot with a suddenly very worried Angela Merkel willing to do anything to prevent further millions of Syrian refugees from entering Germany.
Earlier today, Merkel confirmed that when it comes to Europe's "partners", the only thing that matters is how they can be leveraged to offset structural failures of the "union", when she said the EU will ratchet up cooperation with Turkey as leaders meet to discuss tackling the region’s refugee crisis. There was, again, no mention of Erdogan's brutal crackdown on any political dissent.
Among the things Merkel told reporters ahead of the EU-Turkey meeting is that "a significant part of this EU-Turkey action plan will be about how we can replace illegal migration with legal migration, how we can improve the situation for refugees in Turkey. Turkey is sheltering well more than 2 million refugees and has received only little international support, so rightly expects that the European Union, the member states will alleviate Turkey in tackling this burden."
What she really meant is that another 2 million refugees entering Germany could well destabilize the political tenure of the iron chancellor.
She then said that the EU deal with Turkey will entail improving conditions for refugees in Turkey as well as “shutting down the networks of smugglers and traffickers, to enable legal migration." Oddly, there was no mention of a crackdown on the Islamic State's funding networks.
Finally, she said that leaders will also discuss visa liberalization for Turkey, moving forward with EU accession talks and repatriating migrants into Turkey.
* * *
To summarize: Turkey has been instrumental in not only arming, but financing the Islamic State, whose actions in Syria have led to an unprecedented exodus of refugees mostly through Turkey, which Europe is now hoping to bribe so it will lock down its borders and keep those millions of refugees on the territory of Turkey, or ideally, just send them packing back to the nation they are desperate to flee. And for masterminding all of this, Europe will pay Turkey billions and put it back on its European Union accession route, eliminating the need for visas for Turkish citizens.
Next we look forward to learn how much that other key entry gateway of the migrant pathway into Europe - Greece - will demand, now that the EU's desperate starting bid to halt the refugee flow has been revealed. We expect Athens to settle for nothing less than a cool €1-2 billion as it demands the same treatment as Turkey.

That's how we keep our neighborhood safe. Whenever strangers appear, we pay them to stay away.
It's really starting to look like Erdogan is being cast as this years Archduke Ferdinand.
The EU pays blood money for Turkey killing Russian servicemen and downing the Russian jet
http://thesaker.is/russia-reacts-to-turkeys-attack-sitrep-november-29-20...
More kike extortion.
Are youg guys learning yet? Have you figured it out yet? Do you understand the game yet?
Anything Goes Now...
DEALS With The Devil...
OK, so we have plan B:
1. Invaders stay in Turkey.
2. EU pays their welfare while in Turkey.
3. EU allows Turkey into EU.
4. Invaders issued Turkish (EU) passports.
5. Invaders issued train tickets for Paris, Munich, Berlin, Stockholm.
6. Profit.
Refugees? nothing yet. When Russia gets so pissed with Turkey and starts retaliation strikes - then you'll really see Refugees and 3billion euros won't matter. Now Israel built a wall but perhaps they don't have time...
Well, no, they just have more pressing concerns which require they play nice with Turkey. Any pretense at considering Turkey for EU membership, is what it has always been... a dangling carrot that Turkey will never get to eat.
There is exactly Zero chance that Turkey, or ANY predominantly muslim country will ever seriously be considered for admission. Erdogan almost certainly knows this, but as long as it plays well for most of his sheep, he will be willing to pretend as well.
It is almost a relief that none of them, or Obama either, are pretending to care what other naughtiness he might be up to ... at least we are spared that.
It is facinating the position Erdogan is in... simultaneously vulnerable, yet in a position to extort other major powers into whitewashing his malfeasance. Geopolitics getting very interesting... best soap opera ANYWHERE!!
Various European governments (and perenially Angela Merkel) have sought Turkish membership but most have backed down in the face of widespread public opposition. European leaders are openly advocating a demographic transformation brought about by Islamic influxes, even describing it as necessary.
Traitors.
Romans did the same, and we know how it ended.
Looks to me like Turkey is going to become Islamic State
and Europe after that.
That's a hella big caliphate!
Paying off a blackmailer works everytime, right? Turkey is just one part of the Axis of Evil that is turning the Middle East into a jihadist hellhole. We have traitor-in-chief Obama, who is quick to order his FBI death squad to kill anyone who can be a problem, whether Michael Hastings or Andrew Breitbart or even, for some reason unknown, pancreatic cancer specialist Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez. Erdogan we already know works closely with Daesh. And front and center is Israel's Netanyahu, who has partnered with Saudi Arabia to demolish Syria so Netanyahu's buddies can get control of the giant oil field in the Golan Heights. The only roadblock now is Putin and his S-400 missile defense system, the best in the world by far, which Israel and traitor Obama know can obliterate any American jets bombing Assad's Syria forces.
Agree with all, except about the S400.
Yep. Well you see those 2 lorry's we all saw in the videos with like 4 or 6 launchers on each. Just how many S400 rockets do you think they have and can fire at any one time because the FSA coalition friends have hundred's of flying shrapnel, cough planes.
Probably better time to try an EMP then hit air targets with fireworks IMHO.
Better have 3000 rockets the rest is bs... pretty sure we have 5000 rockets ready too...
Almost as bad as the time the U.S. paid billions in cash to beg the terrorists to stop bombing their soldiers. That'll teach em'.
In this case the Turkeys will take the 3 billion, Erdogan will pocket a good slice of it, and will stop only the affluent or Christian Syrian professionals and academics. The unwanted jihardists, vandals and mentally ill will be will be stripped of any identity documents and sent on to Europe. Success at the reduced numbers will be proclaimed.
You're right. He doesn't like the Kurds and they'll probably get they Whey by sending them on to Eurolands
Now we also know how Greece will get its so needed cash.
I'm sure they will demand the same.
US to turn Europe into its colony. Now the United States has every right to demand from Europe (as from his colony) to pay tribute to the owner. This tribute can be paid to the United States - as the host of the Euro-colony. Or just directly to the anyone, what the United States want to finance. In this case, the United States want to finance Turkey. To save money, the US shift these costs onto the shoulders of their European colonies.
1. The point of view of the slaves, never had any value for their owners.
2. The best slave is a slave who does not know that he slaves.
If you want to make Turkey suffer, allow them to join the Euro Zone. They'll have their own troika looking after them in no time.

And about €2.9 billion of that will end up in the Erdogan mafia family's pockets.
Swiss bankers rejoice !
Fat juicy secret Turkish bank accounts for Christmas!
"Yes we can!"
So what is the plan then - pay Turkey to bring in refugees and invite Turkey to join the EU and Schengen later? How idiotic is that?!
I went across Turkey's eastern borders many times back in the 70's.
They were tight as a drum back then, and an area 100km back into Turkey was a military
zone.
Nothing like some old fashioned extortion.
It's crazy! Nothing makes sense anymore.
"We must join with Him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend."
(ah that quotes doesn't work. The Turkeys are the bad guys being bribed to join up with EU so then they'll be good? I don't understand.)

bleh..
Germany decided that the whole Europe should open their arms to 75 million Turks, so that Germany can close it's arms to refugees from Syria. Poland, Czech, Bulgaria, Hungary etc. can suck it...
next line in da news from state: nothing happened, refugees still storming north.
erdogan will say more money needed.
psycho world.
For fuck sake, pansy ass Westerners are lost, quit being cucks for the ethno-oligarchs and take back your nations.
Is that the payoff to criminal Erdogan for shooting down the Russian jet?
Why is no one mentioning the fact that Turkey supplied the sarin that killed over 1000 people in Ghouta?
Seymour Hersh Links Turkey to Benghazi, Syria and Sarin
The assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency is that the sarin was supplied by Turkey to elements in Ghouta with the intent of “push[ing] Obama over the red line.” Intercepted transmissions from Turkish operators in the aftermath of the attack are jubilant, and the success of their covert mission must have seemed well in hand. Obama’s implicit call to war in the coming month was proof of that.
http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2014/05/06/seymour-hersh-links-turke...
As Seymour Hersh demonstrated, the Nobel prize Winner lied about that sarin to try to start a war in Syria.
Seymour Hersh exposes US government lies on Syrian sarin attack 10 December 2013
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published an article demonstrating that the US government and President Barack Obama knowingly lied when they claimed that the Syrian government had carried out a sarin gas attack on insurgent-held areas last August.
Hersh’s detailed account, based on information provided by current and former US intelligence and military officials, was published Sunday in the London Review of Books. The article, entitled “Whose sarin?,” exposes as a calculated fraud the propaganda churned out day after day by the administration and uncritically repeated by the media for a period of several weeks to provide a pretext for a military attack on the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Exactly! Anyone who believes this money is going toward the refugees and not to fund the US/Israeli/Saudi proxy of IS is fucking blind.
and win-win-win situation,
refugees now will ask for faked turkish passports to go to europe.
good for the turkish mafia passport economy.
Why dont they just give each illegal $1000 and a plane ticket home? They would save money. Just tell each person, "take it or you will die in the streets because we are not giving you anything".
That makes too much sense.
Either way one or the other get their just rewards. Turkey will get screwed out of EU membership AGAIN or Europe will be awash in Salafists for being stupid enough to have open borders or both.
The EU needs to grow a pair. Turkey needs to realize they are just being used. Neither will happen and the shit show that is coming will be the end of Europe.
It will be interesting to see how EU leaders spin this as a good thing to their populations. The lies are already starting with huge ommissions.
"Turkey needs to realize they are just being used."
you are naive in the extreme!
This is Turkeys game just like the Sarin Gas was promoted and organized by Turkey with CIA help. The refugees were told defacto to go north once the UN aid and camps were ended by US direction (allegedly the budget ran out ??) now $3 Billion payoff
look Turkey has always been used as an thorn in everyones back time after time
So you disagree but agree? I wouldn't say "Turkey's game" but "Erdogan's game" definitely.
Yes Turkey is being used by the USA, Salafists, Erdogan, Saudia Arabia, etc. They are a convenient political tampon that will be disposed of once again.
Hopefully the Turks figure it out quickly and deal with the Salafist supporters in their own country, end support to IS and get rid of Erdogan. Maybe losing a lot of business from Russia and getting a full blown civil war inside their own country will smarten them up. Probably not.
just another vivid sconomy like hungary romania poland and ucraine waiting to join the mighty german club......
lalalala, i sing, singing keeps worrisome thoughts away i heard once while i was not singing....
Frankly I would rather live in a poor Eastern European country that is protecting its borders and culture and be blocked from the EU than be part of EU and having to accept human garbage from outside of Europe.
Better tents and a heater for the winter.You can bet that those crooks in Turkey will just send them all to Europe through different routes.
just another upcoming peace price winner, erdogan the great (aka the) backstabber
Those animals are the savage beasts that roam the countryside looking for craft beer and busty women to ravage.
Those monsters must be kept out of EUROPA - to maintain the pure blood, and oils, and greases, and cheeses.
(all hail kortan)
But don't worry because Saudi Arabia will chip in to build a thousand mosques and schools. Think of the construction jobs and the benefits from having millions of new citizens. /sarc
Ok, so have we reached Peak Stupidity yet or not?
Went over that peak awhile ago.Its all downhill from here.

Classic pick-pocket scam.
The white race is in an irreversible decline, with no country's white females having a fertility above or even at replcement rate. The Muslims are the only source of cheap working-aged males for the European economy, and this is why the corporatists in the center-right have embraced them. It's akin to the support given by corporate Republicans to Hispanic aliens in the U.S..
"Muslims"
"Work"
LMFAO
There's something called the guest worker program. Has worked for decades. Need labor? Zero reason to allow a million Muslim invasion.
So the EU is exchanging 100s of thousands of illegal migrants from Syria and beyond for millions of Turks? What could possibly go wrong?
Just in time for them to infultrate each country with thousands Jihadists.
Future headline needed:
Israel to pay $10 trillion reparations for the destruction of the middle east.
I think you mean Uncle Sugar, the enforcer for the House of Saud since oil was discovered in Arabia.
Israel is owed USD500 billion just for destruction and theft of Jewish property during the war---never mind the lives of the six million.
Wow. Telltale signs of an intravenous kool-aid addict.
Israhell is the epic lie that all wars are based around. The culmination of all of Dante's rings.
And the 6 million figure, the greatest hoax ever.
These refugees are human trash coming from the direputable corners of diseased and atavistic cultures where mothers marry sons and daughters marry uncles ...
(horrible)
Sounds like israhell.
thats exactly what europes elite needs
low iq idiots, hunting for non-real wealth, based on no-education slave ideology, breed like rabbits and readyness to protect nonexisting values like for example a snackbar with their lifes
the perfect masohistic naive slaves without a brain
you can do whatever you want this bubblegums
With each passing day, one would think that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was an instruction manual.
Putin eliminates the oil funding, Daesh gets fresh EUR instead.
That's quite a racket Turkey has going on there!
Don Erdogan just made an offer Europe could not refuse...
Take the cannoli...
Wouldn't that money be better off spent by having Germany, France and other European countries. Joining Russia to form a united Peace keeping mission. To secure the Turkish/Syrian border. Instead of given Billions to the terrorist nation of Turkey. That will most likely use it to feed Isis and project more terrorism.
More bribery and corruption, why expect anything else.
3, 4, 34 billion, what difference does it make, they'll just increase the EU budget.
When it comes to fuckups and unintended consequences they are the best.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Who can be SO stupid?...
The New World Mafia are outing themselves more each passing day.
Turkey won't stop shit .... it will accelerate .... you can't farm out deportations .... you have to have the mass mechanisms .... and the political will .... to do it yourself ?
How much would China pay, to have the Syrian male refugees of fighting age return, and join the Syrian Army, so they can re-take their country?
A: More than what Merkel/Germany pays.
Seriously though... Who is twitter-luring refugees to Germany?
A: Mostly the Anglos (UK, USA, Canada, Australia) and former colonies or lackeys (India, Pakistan, Nepal, Belgium)
See http://www.voltairenet.org/article188774.html for details
Clearly London is jealous of Germany and France (and always has been), so a good dose of Schadenfreude seems apt, to lower their quality of life, by the looks of it.
Of course, by the same token, there is correlation between Europeans demanding a boycott of apartheid Israel and subsequent terrorist attacks on EU.Would anyone in their right mind .... choose to live amongst Muslims ?
islam should be removed as an official religion and should be degradated
worse than they did it with christanity
muslims are so stupid they belive islam cant be bent and will never subdue
ignorance based on strenght is their weakpoint
all muslim countries right now are led by fascist families
fascisms great wakpoint is its pureness and non-agility, they cant compete to strong free mind
free mind can change the way of thinking everyday- they can only stick to one useless plan
muslims are actually the easiest to destroy with a brain
turkistan and turkey race are going to far this peoples race should disappear
there should be a plan created to break this monsters so they will lose their "warrior-gens" like it was done with europes population
first of all they should be granted rich money as average population so they turn like japan into a no-children country
money is not real, as soon as they loose the tradition to have children, cut them off money and they will be dependant on the pennies from foreighn dicks
now merge with their filth elite and their media will say what its been told by foreigh voices
turn them into divercity, weaken islam like chistianity was destroyed and bring in mass immigrants from neger continent and iran and india
let them join eu and have gaysex as much as they have asses
bring in drugs and destroy their youth through party-idea, nonsense movements like feminism, veganers and all this trash which will lead them into chaos and separation
let them all disappear
next will be saudi gayrabia
The Ukraine needs another 5 billion to do some things as well, Israel too. I am going to guess that Turkey wont be spending that money to build a fence on their border... maybe prison camps and weapons but not a fence.
It dosen't seem like a good idea. To be given three billion to the main backers of Isis, Turkey.
"Syrians"
"Women and children"
"Doctors and engineers"
Right...right...
syrian refugees:
"rapist and molesters"
"criminals and psycopaths"
"illiterate and uneducated"
"nonprofessionals and welfare-abuser"
"incests and illminded"
"gangs and mafia"
"drugs and human traffic"
"islamists and radicals"
"pedofiles and childabuse"
"burglar and shoplifter"
thats sounds quite scary
dont scare the average sheeps
The EU demonstrating again why it is not fit to rule over others. This is racketeering. It encourages Turkey to support ISIS. Death to the EU.
Great, he can buy 3 more houses. Even if Erdogan and all of Turkey actually cared to control the flow of people, they couldn't. It hasn't even begun, this year's immigrant numbers will have been the first few drops of a storm the scope of which all of you have failed to imagine.
That's odd.
That EUR3 billion isn't for helping Syrian victims of ISIS.
Part of it is to buy guns and ammo to shoot Russian soldiers sent to liberate Syria and take down the House of Saud.
The rest is for a nest-egg for the Erdo?ans in case they have to move to Switzerland suddenly. That is, in case the Russians tear the Turkish army to pieces and drive the Islamists from Ankara too.
And they will too. It is Christian Russia's destiny to rule Eurasia from Paris to Vladivostok and from Aden to Arkhangelsk.
No, our masters don't want that, but all they can do at untold cost in human life is slow it down.
Merely staying out of Russia's way would at least improve their own chances of dying in bed.
And what would it cost to intercept the migrants at sea and return them till the message is clear that it won't work?
3.2 billion will soon be the monthly extortion bill that a turkey charges Europe.
Wait til they see next's months nat gas bill...
http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2015/11/us-gives-their-prox...
"Europe Will Pay Turkey €3 Billion [...]"
By the time this gets thru signing off by the Brussels-crats it'll be just in time to offset some of the economic consequences to Turkey caused by Russia's sanctions for the SU-24 shoot-down.
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
This is a deliberate chess move by the EU against Russia,
-Russia anounces sanctions on Turkey
-EU pays 3 billion to Turkey to halt refugees, making up the difference of the sanctions.
The EU should be able to maintain integrity of it's borders if it's leaders were not so corrupt.
That money would be better spent securing EU's external borders with military presence.
Why don't we just give the kurds 3 Bn euros worth of arms instead?
Euro pussies paying more extortion to Islamists. What a joke.
Don't worry, they will funnel it directly to ISIS.
Deal right in the alley with the one that N. Chamberlain have made. Let's see how long it will hold when number of refugees entering EU even increases...
For $3 billion .... you could give them all .... air conditioned tents .... in Mecca ?
