Germany’s interior minister has “called for closer cooperation with Turkey to handle the refugee and migration crisis. Horst Seehofer said in an exclusive interview with Welt am Sonntag weekly that they were not in a position to address migration and refugee issues alone by the arrangements of the past.” So therefore, just leave the matter in the hands of Turkish despot Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Seehofer is clueless. Two months ago, he was pressuring Italy to open its ports and take in illegal migrants from Libya.
Horst Seehofer “praised Turkey’s efforts for Syrian refugees and reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to the EU-Turkey agreement,” yet Turkey has been mistreating the refugees. According to Human Rights Watch, Turkish border guards have been detaining asylum seekers, beating them, and denying them medical assistance. The UN asserted that 247,000 Syrians were displaced to the border with Turkey in a short space of time, between December 15, 2017 and January 15, 2018. Many of them, including children, were indiscriminately shot at by Turkish forces.
While Seehofer is naively positive about cooperation with Turkey, another arm of the German government warned Turkey that its planned “military incursion into Syria would increase tensions, further instability and have serious humanitarian consequences.” Turkey threatened to launch “a unilateral military intervention against northern Syria.” At the time of that warning, government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer stated that “the success against ISIS should not be risked….This success was made possible by mostly Syrian Kurds.” Explained differently and more accurately: Erdogan has long declared jihad on the Kurds and aimed to decimate them. Turkey has already launched its offensive operation in northeast Syria, with the objective being “to remove Kurdish-led forces from the border area.”
The problem is that globalist Germany is no match for Turkey and its deceptive, supremacist President Erdogan, who cares nothing about the Syrian refugees, as is demonstrated by Turkey’s shooting at them, abusing them and denying them medical attention. Erdogan’s aim is really to flood the EU with Muslim refugees. Erdogan is an Islamic supremacist, following the path of 1,400 years of Islamic conquest, although Germany and other globalists in the EU would like to think differently. Erdogan has vowed to recapture all lands once held by the Ottoman Empire, and even more.
He has also declared that Europe is “collapsing” (which it is), and that the “collapsing” Europe “will pay” for “humiliating” and “oppressing” Turks living on the continent. He went on: “They said a century ago that we were the ‘sick man.’ Now they are the ‘sick man.’ Europe is collapsing.” He was referring to the collapse and humiliation of the Ottoman Empire.
As for the Islamic State, Turkey actually aided its rise, yet NATO promised to defend Turkey from the Islamic State. Turkey is bad news for Germany and all of Europe, despite wasted efforts by Horst Seehofer et al. Turkey should be expelled from NATO; Germany should be protecting its citizens from open-door immigration, particularly after the chaotic fallout from the 2015 surge that saw jihad attacks, sex attacks on innocents, a surge in crime and violent anti-Semitism.
“Germany wants closer cooperation with Turkey: Minister,” Anadolu Agency, October 7, 2019:
Germany’s interior minister on Oct. 6 called for closer cooperation with Turkey to handle the refugee and migration crisis.
Horst Seehofer said in an exclusive interview with Welt am Sonntag weekly that they were not in a position to address migration and refugee issues alone by the arrangements of the past.
“There I would like to further strengthen our cooperation with Turkey. I would direct my efforts to that,” he stressed.
Seehofer visited Turkey and Greece last week to discuss ways to improve the 2016 EU-Turkey agreement to support Syrian refugees and stem irregular migration.
He praised Turkey’s efforts for Syrian refugees and reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to the EU-Turkey agreement, which he said has been successful so far.
Asked by the Welt am Sonntag about possible additional financial support to Turkey for the needs of the Syrian refugees, Seehofer said this issue would be discussed among EU member states.
“I will do my part to ensure that Turkey’s efforts, which has been in the interest of us all, would be considered appropriately,” he said.
The EU-Turkey refugee agreement has been successful in significantly reducing the number of crossings in the Aegean Sea, and preventing the loss of many lives. But the EU’s bureaucratic hurdles and delays to mobilize promised funds led to sharp criticism by Turkish politicians.
The 28-member bloc promised €6 billion ($6.6 billion) of aid for 2016-2019 to improve living conditions of Syrian refugees in Turkey. But so far, only €3.71 billion were contracted and €2.57 billion disbursed.
The EU also pledged that for every Syrian returned to Turkey from Greek islands, another Syrian will be resettled from Turkey to the EU as part of a resettlement plan….
mortimer says
Horst Seehofer has just admitted that the naïve Pollyannish approach of Merkel is a DISASTER for Germany.
The Germans should read between the lines and reach the logical conclusion. Merkel and her party are BANKRUPT of sensible ideas for Germany and should be shown the exit at the earliest opportunity.
Let’s call it *MERXIT*.
Rufolino says
Absolutely true. Except that now, it’s too late for Germany (and most of Europe).
andra says
I do not yet believe that it is too late. If the Europeans would remember their roots and their values now they could win this cultural clash.

Look to Hungary and Poland for the example to follow.

Would this have been during Operation Olive Branch, the Turkish conquest and ethnic cleansing of the formerly Kurdish town of Afrin? Now that he has digested Afrin and no one has seriously interfered, Erdogan is ready for another, bigger bite of Syrian Kurdistan. There will be refugees.

Erdogan attacked the Kurds the moment we pulled out.
David says
2000 American troops stopped Turkey from invading Syria. Now they have left, Turkey attacks. One thing to remember: Kurds are muslims. Make of that what you will. They had the help of the US to fight ISIS. It was not so much the Kurds helping the US.

Does Germay have a 25 th Amendment? Does it apply to Interior Ministers? This man must be too addled to be fit for office. Maybe Erdogans got a golden parachute waiting for him. If not, sorry sucker.
European pagan says
There are problems:
Old people who worked long years in their life and paid tax, don’t get enough money.
A lots of people can’t find a flat, because everything is expensive. Vanlife like in UK and USA is forbidden (everything is forbidden).
Refugees get money and place to live.
Most of europeans don’t have an own oppinion, that is the problem…
gravenimage says
Germans have even been thrown out of their homes to house Muslim immigrants.
European pagan says
I know… I saw some YouTube Videos.
Years before, I had a friend, sometimes he gave me some croissants and sandwiches after the bakery was closed that day. It was possible only when the boss wasnt there, because the boss said they have to throw out everything. That time I had only a part time job, and I still remember how much I liked that sandwiches. Why to throw them out? After that, the refugees arrived into the city. The boss said, after the bakery is closed in the evening, everything what they didn’t sell has to go to the refugees. So they gave it to them, but not to me?
I think I will leave Europe one day. With too many things I don’t agree and I can not accept always everything. I read a lot about South America. I heard there is not everything forbidden and no refugees 😀

Germany historically has had a glove in hand relationship with Turkey, especially when “superiority” over others is concerned.

How is it that an ethnic group (Dem deutschen Volke) can hate themselves so much they actively pursue national policies that will result in their annihilation?
Ole Pederson says
This is a very effective brainwash technique, part of psychological warfare.
(in any other context sane people would waren their children not to get into cars of strangers. Today German parents welcome strangers and have no objections when their teenage daughters bed male, muslim men).
It works even in Sweden: some Swedes justify their “Refugees Welcome” poiicy with their history of Swedish colonies, do you believe it. When I heard that in an on-the-street-interview I thought:
“Er, wait!! What …?”

Really? Didn’t Turkey threaten to unleash the “migrants” unless the EU coughed a large sum of money?…
