Turkey Raises Migrant Pressure On EU Over Syria Conflict
February 29, 2020
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday threatened to let thousands of refugees cross into Europe and warned Damascus will “pay a price” in retaliation after dozens of Turkish troops were killed inside Syria.
At the Turkish border, Greek police clashed with several thousand migrants already gathered at the entrance to EU territory, where they hurled rocks at security forces firing tear gas across the frontier.
