Topic: EU-Turkey deal could see Syrian refugees back in war zones, says UN (Read 458 times)

Most of them are not war refugees anyway and most of those who are could fight for their homes instead of fleeing away. I dont mind if Europe provide shelter for children and woman till war is over but this what happening is just ridiculous. We have fcking barbarian invasion and Europe is flooded by those goatfucking rapists.

when the british flee our country to avoid getting drafted to defend it in a war like the muslim trash running to europe i will slit my wrists

It's be nice if for the return trip they put Merkel in a rubber raft along with a hundred rapefugees or so and the seas turned stormy on the way, capsizing the boat and drowning all in it.

When you will be a refugee, i'll remember that.

your solution seems logical but not a realistic one.. i think western governments must send these asylum seekers to their own lands peacefully for sure..

This is a shity slander.
Turkey already has 3 million refugees and Turkey provides their humanistic necessity like food, accomodation, helath care,  even education. Turkey has no compliance about them. Turkish people see them guests. But EU closed their borders to refugees. Especially Greek coast guards are, sinking their boats. Syrian refugees go to EU for better living conditions but they are being exposed like animals by EU states. They are afraid of sharing their food with them. Therefore EU has offered to Turkey 3 billion avro fund for holding them inside Turkish border.
By the way,  what is purpose of UN? What they did for refugees?

sink the boats and problem is solved

Europe and leaders like Angela Merkel were too eager to act like the saviour of these people. Except they turned the taps on and a flood came, not a trickle. Now Europe has to do grubby deals with Turkey, where they are paying billions while refugees still pass through.

A senior UN official says he is very concerned that a hasty EU deal with Turkey could leave Syrian refugees unprotected and at risk of being sent back to a war zone.

Filippo Grandi, the UN high commissioner for refugees , questioned the legality of an outline deal struck by the EU and Turkey.

“As a first reaction I am deeply concerned about any arrangement that would involve the blanket return of anyone from one country to another, without spelling out the refugee protection safeguards under international law,” he said on Tuesday.

At the heart of the deal between the EU and Turkey is a controversial refugee exchange programme. Under the plan, Syrian refugees on the Greek islands would be returned to Turkey, while European countries would take asylum seekers currently living in Turkey.

Speaking to the European parliament in Strasbourg, Grandi said asylum seekers should only be returned to other states if there was a guarantee that that they would not then be sent back to the place they had fled. The country of return also had to ensure asylum seekers had access to work, healthcare, education and social assistance, Grandi said.

Separately, Vincent Cochetel, regional director for Europe at the office of the UN high commissioner for refugees (UNHCR), said an EU commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees over two years, on a voluntary basis, remained “very low”.
