I may be wrong...
Isn't it that according to the law, the refugees are allowed to get the shelter in the first country they manage to get to? In this case it's Turkey, right?
- dopamean 7y agoWhich law? EU law? Afaik Turkey isn't a member of the EU but might like to be depending on who you're talking to.
- ssh_wintermute 7y agoAfaik this law only applies to EU and Turkey isn't part of it.

- ChuckNorris89 7y agoThat's only in the EU/Schengen laws and refugees can pay smugglers to get them to their desired country of choice through EU's porous borders(I drive a lot through Europe and border checks are only along the main highways, side roads are completely unguarded). Nothing against helping refugees but EU and NATO should reconsider any further cooperation with Turkey.
- pleasecalllater 7y agoThanks. I thought it was some kind of international law at the UN level, not just the EU one.
- rossdavidh 7y agoEven within the EU (and Turkey is not part of the EU, which is the EU's fault, not TUrkey's), this rule has been bent a lot in recent years. Greece and Italy and other countries have been sending refugees north. Of course, the Mediterranean countries will regret this bad precedent once the hordes of Scandinavian refugees come down from the south, and Germany and France and Benelux expect them to take some of them. Oh, wait...
- ChuckNorris89 7y ago>Greece and Italy and other countries have been sending refugees north. They did that because they didn't have the resources to deal with that and when they asked the rich countries for help all they got was "sux to be you. sorry fam, you're on your own. lol"
- rossdavidh 7y agoTrue. But all of that would be pretty applicable to Turkey, as well.
