The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker was clear that the exterior borders of the EU were not national borders of one country, while stressed that the EU should help Greece in dealing with the refugee crisis in an interview to RTL TV in Luxembourg. Juncker defended the political decisions of German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying she was right. ‘We cannot leave countries on their own’, he said in reference to Greece’s problems with the refugee crisis.
On the matter of the collaboration between the EU and Turkey over the refugee crisis he said ‘We need Turkey’. Responding to those who support closed border policy in the EU he said Europe must be an area open to those seeking refuge from wars.
