AP reports from Berlin that the German leader said during the German-Hellenic Economic Forum event in Berlin that Turkey bears a “great burden” with its huge refugee population, but added that Ankara “can expect no understanding if it tries to solve its own problems on the back of refugees who then get stranded in a dead-end at the Turkish-Greek border.”
The German chancellor also termed Turkey’s behavior on the migration issue “unacceptable” and said that “despite our understanding for the great burden Turkey has assumed, by hosting 3.5 million refugees, it cannot expect understanding when it tries to resolve its own problems by using refugees, who were led to an impasse at the Greek-Turkish borders.”
