Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday he would keep Turkey's border open for refugees until the EU had met all Ankara's demands while comparing Greece's response to the crisis to the Nazis, SIA reports referring to foreign media.
Turkey's decision at the end of February to re-open its border for refugees sparked a row with Brussels, as well as harsh exchanges with Greece. Greece has teargassed thousands of refugees and migrants trying to break through and been accused of beating and stripping them of their belongings if they made it across the border.
At least four refugees have been killed after they tried to cross the Greek border to reach different European Union countries. But he reiterated that Turkey hopes for a fresh agreement with Brussels ahead of the next EU leaders' summit on March 26.
Turkey already hosts some four million refugees –– most of them Syria –– and fears another mass influx as the regime, backed by Russia and Iran, pushes to retake Idlib.
