Austria will extend its border controls if Turkey does not take back refugees picked up at sea on their way to Greece, Chancellor Werner Faymann said in an interview with the daily Oesterreich, being published on Sunday.
He had earlier said that migrants picked up at the Greek external EU border should be sent back directly to Turkey because this was the only measure that would make a radical enough impact.
Austria is set to introduce a new border management system at Spielfeld, a key crossing point on its south-eastern border with Slovenia, which aims at speeding up applications and making the country less attractive to asylum seekers.
More such border management facilities on other routes may be needed if Turkey does not respond to his proposal, the chancellor was quoted as saying.
Faymann said Turkey must make a decision by Feb. 18, when EU leaders meet for a summit.
"Then we must secure our borders even more," Faymann said. "To protect internal borders is a makeshift solution. But we have to be prepared."

The “refugee” madness has to be stopped.
Absolutely. There are PEGIDA rallies happening all over Europe to end this government sponsored madness. There is a story about this on Drudge. It is amazing how the police in the European cities cannot manage to intervene and stop the crime, rape, etc. being perpetrated by these “refugees” but they show up in force to put down the European citizens who are protesting this invasion.
The UN, "the politically correct bunch" and the "one world open borders" crackpots can go to hell!
When did protecting YOUR citizens (and taxpayers), culture, religion and way of life, and sovereignty through enforcement of laws, borders and immigration, become a "threat".
... when Trump said it I guess.
Seems to make sense to other countries in Europe but when Trump says it it’s RACIST don’t you know.
When the citizens demonstrate they have permit so the police are ready.
When the illegals riot it is unplanned.
tow all boats back to see or to origin. Do not let them land. Regardless if boats sink or not.
drop leaflets in major ports of Turkey, Libya, Syria, etc... that there is NO access to Europe.
The word will get around very quickly, and this Muslim opportunism will stop immediately.
