[01] Turkey's proposals were extremely radical for the majority of EU
member states, says Alt. FM Xydakis
"There was convergence in practical issues and this is positive. We did
not reach an agreement because Turkey's proposals were extremely radical
for the majority of the EU member states," Alternate Foreign Minister
responsible for European Affairs Nikos Xydakis stated to Athina 9.84
FM on Tuesday referring to the EU-Turkey Summit on the refugee issue.
"There was progress for Greece in relation to the rapid readmission
of migrants to Turkey which is also a message to the migrants not to
follow this route. Europe is putting pressure so that something changes
until March 17, but the legal and institutional framework is based on a
Greek-Turkish bilateral agreement on the implementation and acceleration
of the readmission process. Turkey has shown that it wants to cooperate",
said Xydakis.
