Speaking in Istanbul on Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that Turkey could open its border, allowing an influx of migrants to enter the EU, following the European Parliament's decision to temporarily freeze accession talks with Ankara.
"What would we do if Turkey opened the border gates, you've pondered. Look here, if this goes any further, those border gates will be opened. Neither me nor my people get nothing out of those false threats," Erdogan stated, and continued "We are the shelter for three and a half million refugees. You didn't keep your promises."
An agreement between EU and Turkey, in which European countries will take in one Syrian refugee directly out of Turkey for every refugee returned from Greece, came into force on March 20.
According to UNHCR, at the moment there are more than 3 million refugees in Turkey, including 2.7 million Syrians and around 300,000 Iraqi refugees.
