European Union: ‘Committed’ To Opening Borders to 75 Million Turkish Citizens as ‘Soon as Possible’
Breitbart ^ | 11-29-2017 | Liam Deacon

The European Union (EU) remains “committed to” giving, and is in the later stages of securing, Turkish citizens visa-free travel in the bloc, as well as handing an extra three billion euros to migrants in the nation by next year, a commissioner has said. The EU’s Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos explained that all elements of the migrant deal with Turkey were moving ahead, after Turkey agreed to stem the tide of Middle Eastern migrants in return for billions in aid and the opening Europe’s borders to Turks.

He made the comments to Turkish paper Hurriyet ahead of a visit to the nation. In a Turkish language version, he is quoted, according to a rough translation, as saying the deal in its “last level”.

Pressed on when he expects progress on visa-free travel, in the English version of the interview, Mr. Avramopoulos stressed that Ankara must “meet the remaining benchmarks”, including revisions to Turkey’s authoritarian anti-terror law.

“The EU is committed to fulfilling all elements of the EU-Turkey migration deal, including visa liberalization, and the bloc continues to encourage Turkey’s efforts to complete the delivery of all the outstanding benchmarks of the Visa Liberalization Roadmap as soon as possible,” he said.

Adding: “At this point in time, all parties must avoid whatever could undermine our cooperation and focus on mutual interests.”

The future looks bleak for Europe. I bet this even causes some countries to leave the EU sooner rather than later.

Terrible leadership. How could they not know mixing Islam with Christians is like mixing ice water and used motor oil? It just makes an ugly sludgy mess.

The citizens of the E.U. better wake up and mobilize before this is implemented.

Next to the NFL, I’ve seldom seen anything this illogical.

Why? Does being forced to live in Turkey violate the Geneva convention in somw way? What is the problem? Lack of the melanin deficient to create civilization?

This is simply suicide for Europe but it is murder led by the Socialist Elites of Europe. The Socialist Elites are immune to the havoc they impose by decree on their nations. They are not fools but simply left wing ideologues. They know what they are doing.

Angela Merkel is the leader of this along with many others of the socialist elites. They are evil.

I vaguely remember the NFL. When Satan (AKA JERRY JONES) fired Tom Landry the NFL died for me.

Polish President Andrzej Duda met with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in Warsaw on October 17.

“I hope that the paths of Turkey and the EU will continue in the same direction, and that the result of this… will eventually be Turkey’s membership, full membership, of the European Union,” Duda said after meeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The lefties of the boomer generation drank the soviet subversion koolaid by the gallon. Couple that with feminism, and it was a death sentence for Western Civilization. Their will to live takes a back seat to not being called a ‘racist’. Let that sink in. That’s called total demoralization-brainwashing. Jim Jones’ style national suicides

Yes, that was a tough blow.

For me it wasn’t so much that he wanted to make a change, but the classless way he went about it.

Tom Landry was an excellent coach. He was the Dallas mainstay for decades. On top of that, he was just a class act.

The way they disrespected him at the end, it was very destructive.

What I’ve noticed all too often, is a team owner will allow the talent to wane, then blame a coach for not putting together a winning season. IMO < that’s what happened to Landry.

If the owner had given Landry more talent, he would have brought in a winning season.

I live in California. I was still a Dallas fan. It was coach Landry that was responsible for that. He and his star quarterbacks in the 60s through the 90s, were just stellar.

My only NFL game viewed in person was in the Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas around 1966. I liked Dallas then, and I continued to follow them even though I moved on to California during the time I followed the team.

Never a particularly avid fan, following all the stats and the like, I still knew talent when I saw it.
