German magazine has announced that Turkey is banning academics from leaving for Europe permitting only the ill and uneducated refugees in a deal with EU.
According to a report published by the German magazine Spiegel on Saturday, several EU countries have censured Turkey’s highly selective approach on sending Syrian refugees to Europe.
Based on a deal struck with the EU in March, refugees arriving on European soil via the Aegean Sea may be sent back to Turkey. For each refugee returned, the EU will take one Syrian refugee currently living in Turkey.
In return, the EU has made several commitments to Ankara, including financial aid, visa-free travel for Turks, and progress in its EU membership negotiations.
