Some in Turkey still balk at EU's 'indecent proposal'
Author: Zülfikar DoğanPosted November 18, 2015
In an interview before her recent visit to Istanbul, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would refuse Turkey’s request for EU membership, adding that she sees accession negotiations as an open-ended process. Given that position, it is hard to think of Germany's proposal to pay Turkey 3 billion euros ($3.2 billion as of Nov. 18), ease visas restrictions and expedite accession negotiations as sincere and realistic.
Summary Print What's the real value of the EU's offer to pay Turkey 3 billion euros ($3.2 billion), ease visa restrictions and expedite accession negotiations in return for keeping refugees from entering Europe?
AuthorZülfikar DoğanPosted November 18, 2015

European Union leaders meeting at the EU-Africa migration summit Nov. 11-12 in Malta agreed, at least in theory, to pay Turkey 3 billion euros to stop the refugee flow to Europe or slow it down; to reinforce Turkey’s border controls to prevent access to Europe; and to improve the conditions of refugees in Turkey.
Specific conditions of the assistance and the necessary agreements will be discussed at an EU summit that Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to attend at the end of November.
Germany is spearheading the initiative with Turkey to secure EU borders. According to Turkish daily Vatan, more than 60% of the refugees trying to reach Europe want to go to Germany and are prepared to risk everything to do it.
Merkel’s one-day visit to Turkey immediately before the Nov. 1 elections — a visit severely criticized in her country — indicates the scope of Germany’s concerns. The visit focused on expediting visa exemptions to Turks and opening new chapters in EU accession talks, in addition to the offer of 3 billion euros in assistance.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said in September that Turkey has spent some $7.6 billion for Syrian refugees without any outside aid. Erdogan, in his trip to Brussels in October, said Turkey had spent $8 billion, warned that Turkey could no longer carry this burden alone and asked for assistance.
Taking these figures into account, Turkey is spending $500 million a month just on the refugees living in the camps.
But Turkey's expenditures are bound to increase, as it plans to provide free doctor visits, hospital treatments and medicine to more than 2.2 million Syrians scattered all over the country, as well as free education to more than 300,000 Syrian children and other economic and social support measures.
Against the $8 billion Turkey has spent for the refugees until now, the EU is offering 3 billion euros in two installments to head off new refugee waves to Europe.
Turkey has to be realistic and careful about the goodwill and feasibility of the EU’s proposal to expedite visa exemption negotiations. Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister Yoannis Kasulidis has already refused to lift the unilateral veto on Turkey’s accession. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said 3 billion euros wouldn't help anything and rejected the proposal.
In the aftermath of the Paris massacre, Poland declared that not only won’t it accept the EU’s refugee acceptance quotas, it will not receive any refugees. Eastern EU members particularly are sidestepping the quotas drawn up by the EU to determine the number of refugees each should accept.
Another point of contention will be the Dec. 16, 2013, agreement between the EU and Turkey for accepting refugees who are returned. According to this agreement, Turkey will be obliged to accept refugees who have reached the EU via Turkey. The EU has promised to ease visa procedures to Turks after 2017 for accepting the return of refugees. Turkey wants visa exemptions to go into effect by July 2016.
The EU commission has proposed granting Turkey “safe country of origin” status, which is usually reserved for more developed countries. If that happens, the EU’s latest progress report on Turkey that declared “basic rights and democracy have regressed in Turkey” becomes meaningless. EU members can deport refugees by returning them to “safe” countries. Last year, Germany deported 11,000 Roma (also known as gypsies) who originated from Balkan countries, sending them back to their “safe” countries.
The strongest reaction in Turkey to the EU promises came from the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TUSIAD), which had been the strongest proponent of Turkey’s EU membership.
“Turkey cannot be a buffer zone or gate guard for the EU in return for petty political and financial incentives,” TUSIAD President Cansen Basaran Symes said.
One of Turkey’s veteran EU experts, Can Baydarol, labeled the EU’s approach an “indecent proposal.” 
In short, Europe — squeezed between the Paris massacre and questions of Islamic terror and refugees — is trying to buy Turkey for 3 billion euros while not offering anything concrete on visa and accession issues. The EU and Germany, by ignoring the humanitarian aspects of the question and focusing on monetary angles, have failed the test of their goodwill.

IS EUROPE'S 'REFUGEE DEAL' GIVING IN TO BLACKMAIL BY TURKEY

IS EUROPE'S 'REFUGEE DEAL' GIVING IN TO BLACKMAIL BY TURKEY OR ARE WE JUST BEING SWINDLED?" - SENIOR EURO MP RICHARD HOWITT MEP FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE,

The draft EU-Turkey Refugee Action Plan agreed in Brussels by EU leaders last week risks bringing shame on Europe, according to a leading British MEP responsible for Turkey's EU accession negotiations. Two million Syrian refugees are being treated as bargaining chips, with the result potentially being European complicity in rigging Turkey's 1 November elections, Richard Howitt MEP says. Turkey must not be allowed to 'buy' silence from Europe over intimidation of opponents and journalists, the British Labour Euro MP writes, in an article published today (Monday 19 October) by one of Europe's leading news services.

Richard Howitt MEP, Foreign Affairs Spokesperson for Socialists and Democrats, the second largest group in the European Parliament, writes:

"Is Europe's refugee crisis so distorting its political judgement that the European Union is entering in to what Turkey's own pro-Government newspapers have called a 'bloody exchange'?"

"In which other country would independent television channels be blocked, journalists arrested and opposition parties too frightened to hold campaign rallies in advance of an election - yet the European Union stay virtually silent in response?

"The view in the corridors in Brussels is that Erdogan feels he can 'turn on-and-off the taps' of refugee flows, effectively holding the European Union to ransom.

"And the charge is that a petrified European Union is acceding to the blackmail, and about to be hand over a pay-off of up to €3billion in response."

Citing the prediction from an often reliable government whistleblower before last weekend's deadly peace rally bombing, claiming that the governing AK Party itself would wage violence against political rallies, as part of an electoral strategy in advance of the elections, Richard Howitt MEP comments:

"Tell the families of the 99 dead, that Europe is negotiating a deal in which it pronounces Turkey to be a "safe" country, for the purposes of immigration, but not for its own population."

Richard Howitt MEP questions why there has been a "highly unusual" postponement of the eagerly anticipated publication of the annual 'progress report' on Turkey's EU accession prospects.

Warning that the European Union must not make an historic mistake in the 'cash for cooperation' deal, Richard Howitt MEP concludes: "Europe must be careful that it is not only being blackmailed, but being swindled too. "There are serious questions as whether Erdogan can deliver on his promises?

"If Erdogan loses the November elections and runs away, European inaction now will look shameful.

"If Erdogan wins the election using European endorsement and European money, that shame could last for a very long time indeed."

The Answer to Terror: We Need Determination, Not Saber Rattling
An Editorial by Klaus Brinkbäumer
A makeshift memorial set up in front of the Parisian restaurant Le petit Cambodge, one of the sites in the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks.
The Paris terrorist attacks present a threat to Europe, but the martial rhetoric that has resulted is overwrought. Sobriety and determination should be our approach -- and forming a broad anti-IS alliance, even with uncomfortable partners.
Fifty years ago, when the world first began considering the phenomenon that would come to be known as "globalization," it was seen one dimensionally. It had to do with economics, corporations, trade and jobs. Since then, we have learned that other problems, like climate change, cannot be solved if one country builds wind turbines while the other is constructing coal-fired power plants. And we are learning that refugees make no distinction between the industrialized world and the developing world. Today, they are networked and they take flight as soon as they believe salvation is waiting for them on another continent. It would be difficult to overstate this epochal shift, because what we are witnessing will be lasting, but it also may just be beginning.
It is a single world, economically, politically and in human terms, linked together by modern communication and, now, terrorism. The so-called Islamic State spills blood in Syria and Iraq, but it also seeks to cast its net around Paris and the rest of the world. It is establishing nation-like structures in its caliphate while at the same time building a parallel digital world.
War Rhetoric
What can the international community do to respond to this threat? And how should Germany act? Should its approach be hardline and aggressive, as demanded by Mathias Döpfner and Berthold Kohler, two of Germany's most powerful media voices? Or should it be sober and level-headed? We must first understand what exactly happened. Islamic State's terrorism is not directed explicitly at the West. It is directed against any kind of culture, against all that is mature, intelligent, sensual and free. Its ideology is based on the Wahhabi interpretation of Islam, the same brutal and medieval school practiced by Saudi Arabia, a partner of the West.
A Prevailing Sense of Powerlessness
Islamic State's terror thrives in a vacuum. After autocratic systems like Egypt, or failed states like Iraq and Syria, allowed their economies to die, millions of young men were left behind, angry and powerless. And it's this sense of powerlessness that dominates in the Arab world today. Now the powerless want to get even with those in power.
The aim of the terror practiced by Islamic State is to surprise, to induce fear and to shock, all of which it does. But beyond Syria and Iraq, it is not war, and it certainly isn't World War III. It's still just terrorism. Islamic State is in no position to endanger the foundations of our nations. Nor can it present the kind of long-term threat posed to humanity by climate change. But it is a mastercraftsman of terror, which is threatening enough. Only once we have come to understand just who the opponent is, can we begin to act.
A sound democracy like Germany's can rely on the civil courage of its people, who believe in, and stand up for, freedom. In the face of a true threat, it can strengthen the police and intelligence services without curbing civil liberties. It can keep suspects under observation without resorting to mass surveillance of companies, media and individuals. It can cancel international football matches without loss of face, as in Hanover after the Paris attacks. It should control who enters the country. A sound democracy should enforce applicable law not least because it must be vigilant at a time when such a large number of people are anxious, even if the cause of this uncertainty has become blurred (it is here, the uncertainty of Europeans, where terror and refugee flight intersect. Otherwise, the latter is caused by the former).
Uncomfortable Allies
Should Europe also desire to stand strong and to follow up France's retaliatory air strikes with a real strategy, then it must do everything within its power to end the civil war in Syria. Doctrinal purity free of tarnish is no longer possible: As long as Russia and Iran continue to throw their support behind Bashar Assad -- and as long as we still need Russia's help in the fight against IS -- we will unfortunately have to accept that Assad will remain president for now. And we will have to accept that he will likely be granted a graceful exit from the political stage rather than landing before a court.
We need allies and choosing them is no longer a question of taste, but of tactics. Egyptian President Sisi may not be a champion of democracy, but he is fighting Islamic State. Turkish President Erdogan has both influence and worries, which makes him an ideal dialogue partner. The Iraqi government needs help and we need change in Iraq, because the exclusion of all Sunnis (Saddam Hussein was a Sunni) is also driving new fighters into the arms of IS.
It won't be possible without partners because Islamic State must be stripped of the funding, the theological foundations and the moral backing it receives from the Arab world. Only education and the promise of a future can defeat the Arab sense of powerlessness -- one which existed prior to Islamic State, in the times of Hezbollah and al-Qaida, and one which cannot be allowed to persist in the post-IS world. All of that requires level-headed decision-making and sober, decisive diplomacy. Not the rhetoric of war.
It will also require more careful consideration of an aspect that, at first glance, may seem marginal at the moment: Countries that have common problems need a functioning United Nations to help address them. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is precisely the kind of compromise candidate that we need to prevent in times like these. The UN Security Council remains as dysfunctional today as it was 20, even 60 years ago. Europe and Angela Merkel, whose name is often tossed in the ring as a possible future secretary general, have influence in New York. It's high time for it to be put to use.
There are eras -- World War II, for example, or today -- in which countries often at odds with each other still have common goals. At such a time, it is of course possible to forge a global alliance against Islamic State.

Peterborough synagogue welcomes Muslims displaced by mosque arson

'At the end of the day, it's a house of God,' says mosque president


Since then, Gillman has given a speech at the Muslim Institute of Toronto and his synagogue has become part of an interfaith group working to sponsor Syrian refugees to come to Canada.

Abdella said there are political differences between Jewish and Muslim groups around the world, but the two are not that dissimilar. 
"We have more similarities than differences. We have so much common — the details of worship and the ceremonies. Even the stories we hear are similar," he said.
"At the end of the day, it's a house of God.
