Erdogan to hold migration summit with Merkel and Macron, but not Greece’s Mitsotakis

Mar 14, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced he will be hosting a migration summit with French and German leaders but declined to invite Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.”

One wonders what France’s Macron and Germany’s Merkel hope to accomplish, beyond an ego boost and an appearance of willingness to “negotiate.” The fact that Erdogan did not invite Mitsotakis to the summit is telling. The Greek Prime Minister is perhaps the person who should be there most of all. The pointed omission further reveals Erdogan’s nefarious intentions. Already it has been discovered that “only four percent of ‘refugees’ breaching” the Greek border are actually Syrians; they are North African Muslims from countries not engaged in war.

The announcement comes just after the Turkish president met with European Union officials in Brussels earlier this week and was unable to come to any sort of deal that would see the Turkish government close the border to migrants after opening it two weeks ago.

No surprise there. Erdogan is is an enemy of democracy who aims to revive the Ottoman Empire. He has referred to Europe as the “‘sick man’— the slur European politicians used to describe the collapsing Ottoman Empire in the 19th century.” And he is actively engaging in Europe’s demise.

“They said a century ago that we were the ‘sick man.’ Now they are the ‘sick man.’ Europe is collapsing,” he added.

Erdogan has also mocked the EU “fear” of his opening the gates and releasing an influx of migrants. Yet it is clear that he knows the danger to Europe that the migrants pose.

“Erdogan to Hold Migrant Summit With Macron and Merkel in Istanbul”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, March 12, 2020:

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced he will be hosting a migration summit with French and German leaders but declined to invite Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The summit is scheduled to take place on March 17th and will be attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson “possibly” also going.

The announcement comes just after the Turkish president met with European Union officials in Brussels earlier this week and was unable to come to any sort of deal that would see the Turkish government close the border to migrants after opening it two weeks ago, Proto Thema reports.

“Implementing the truce in Idlib and finding a permanent solution to the refugee problem is for everyone’s benefit. We can start a new era with the EU. If the EU shows this determination and political vision, it is possible to go the distance,” Erdogan said.

While saying he was supportive of updating the EU-Turkey customs agreement and giving Turkish citizens visa-free access to the European Union, an unfulfilled part of the 2016 EU-Turkey migrant agreement, Erdogan had much harsher words for the Greek government.

Slamming Greek conservative Prime Minister Mitsotakis, Erdogan said, “Greece is not aware of International Law. Mitsotakis must first learn International Law. He should read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

Erdogan has also called on Greece to open its border as the Turks have, stating, “Hey Greece! I appeal to you… open the gates as well and be free of this burden… Let them go to other European countries.”….

    Hadn’t seen that picture. Dr Merkill is very happy holding Erdolf’s hand. She decided to keep the borders open so that the older Germans are killed faster by the virus and she can destroy Germany for good. In five year’s time Merkill will have done more damage to Germany and Europe that her predecessor from Austria.

      The way Erdogan is holding their hands, they look like children whom he is keeping under control.

    They are holding his hands and he is happy. He is thinking “What total fools these Europeans are! I’m going to unleash an invasion into Europe like they have never seen before. Together with the virus, it will be the end of Europe.”

    At least they didn’t kiss him on the lips.

      Erdogan could actually say the same words out loud right to their faces – and still receive no pushback…

        See “The Well-Organised Invasion”

        “Brussels will not protect Europe. They do not want to stop the migration, but rather to support it and organize it.”

    Wonder what these 2 Infidelophobes are going to cook up? Not from the Visegard Group but EU Police been sent to the Greek/Turkish border. All Brussels says is: “To help with the “migrant problem.” This can be taken 2 ways. 1) To support Greece & keep them out. 2) & this is the one that EVERYBODY thinks, is to do the paper work to get them in & spread them throughout Europe! 94% of them ain’t even Syrian, but there’s plenty of space in the peaceful areas of Syria. NONE have hone to Saudi Arabia. There’s a fully functional refugee camp there. Can take in 500,000 souls easy. Been ready for years & got ZERO refugees in it.

    VIDEO: Where do migrants want to go? Germany, Germany, Germany

    A reporter from Deutschland Kurier traveled to Turkey to speak directly with migrants amassed at the border and ask them about their motivations and goals in their attempts to enter Europe, including which European country they would like to end up in.

    In a sign that little has changed since the 2015 crisis that saw over a million migrants enter Europe illegally, migrants in the video are open about their desired destination: Germany.

    The new revivalist Ottoman Sultan with delusions of Hitlerian grandeur,

    Boris Johnson is “possibly” going to the summit so “probably” he won’t be much use at standing up to the Turkish Tyrant.

    If M&M had souls, they’d respond immediately that they refuse Erdogan any contact outside fully open, public, and start-to-finish broadcast meetings that included all those affected. Years ago, my European relatives told me that they feared the EU would be corrupted by collusion between the Germans and the French. Prescient.

    And the Third Crusade Award goes to Merkel and Macron. Commemorates the time when the Western Europeans betrayed the Greeks they were supposed to aid by sacking the Byzantine capital Constantinople paving the way for the Turkish invasion of Europe. Marx said one useful thing. “History always repeats itself. The first time as tragedy, the second as farce.”

    Suiting Erdogan by admitting these gatecrashers would be a sure way of attracting a repeat wave, in just the same way that a so-called “amnesty” for illegals attracts a further influx. Africa has teeming millions ready to try their luck. Also Africans are very very good at making more Africans.
    Opening the border would be a straightforward dereliction of duty by politicians.

    What law says that Greece has to let itself be overrun with a Third World Muslim horde? Erdogan only wants to talk with suckers who’ll take him seriously.

  12. GreekEmpress says

    Mar 14, 2020 at 4:55 pm

    Erdogan states “Greece is not aware of International Law. Mitsotakis must first learn International Law.
    He should read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. Greece remembers all too well 400 years of “Human Rights” they received under the Ottoman Empire. Ditto the Assyrians/Greeks/Armenians during the genocide. No human rights for them—

    The picture shows Erdogan holding the hands of his ken and barbie dolls. Dolls require a live person for manipulation and he certainly knows who the dolls are.

    Muslim countries don’t want these muslim refugees in their countries. No sir. How come we don’t hear leftists crying racism?

      It’s certainly not because they’ve run out of crazy bellyaches. Now they’re accusing anti-FGM people of being anti-transgender!

  14. ntesdorf says

    Mar 14, 2020 at 7:13 pm

    Erdogan knows that he can easily pull the wool over the eyes of Merkel and Macron, but he also knows that Greece’s Mitsotakis is wise to all his Muslim Taqiqiyah and tricks.

  15. Kepha says

    This is a situation in which the rest of NATO really needs to join together and get it through Erdogan’s skull that he is behaving in an uncceptable manner with another ally.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Mar 15, 2020 at 8:29 pm

      Strategically, it might be a net plus to kick Turkey out of NATO. Not an ally of the democratic world.

    NATO and the U.S. need to stand with Greece and protect their sovereignty from the invasion of islamic/muslim people who are attempting to invade Greece. Turkey, France and Germany are not in a position to dictate what the Greek people should do in their own country when it comes to immigration.
