Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said Monday that Turkey "has saved almost 100,000
refugees in the (eastern) Mediterranean" but "the EU still has
to give us the three billion euros promised four months ago". He
was speaking as an extraordinary EU-Turkey summit was taking
place in Brussels with Turkish Premier Ahmet Davutoglu. Erdogan
added that he hopes Davutoglu comes back from Brussels with the
promised funds, accusing western countries once again of
indifference to the "plight of women and children dying at sea",
to the "massacres of the regime of Bashar al-Assad" and of the
"Turkmans, Arabs and our brothers who are under the Russian
bombing" in Syria.
