All because of that stupid woman Merkel......
After the EU MEP's voted to freeze Turkeys progress into the EU, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim warned cutting off talks with the bloc would be far more damaging to Europe than Turkey.
Keen to hammer home the seriousness of freezing negotiations, a menacing President Tayyip Erdogan threatened to join a security alliance with Russia and China.
He warned Turkey were prepared to open the border gates to let the migrants leave if the EU continues to make threats.
Mr Yildirim said: ”We are one of the factors protecting Europe. If refugees go through, they will flood into Europe and take it over, and Turkey prevents this.
“I accept that cutting off ties with Europe would harm Turkey, but it would damage Europe five-to-six times more.”
Members of the European Parliament voted 479 to 37 in favour of a non-binding motion urging the European Commission and national governments to freeze negotiations which have been going on for 11 years but have long been stalled.
