And to be clear on this EU deal...now that the UK has voted to leave the EU...Chancellor Merkel is doing a quick about face on her years long effort to block Turkeys admission into the EU and plans to meet with the Turks to discuss the possibility of their admission. The Merkel stipulation...Turkey help her out on the immigration crisis in Germany which is bleeding both her power and popularity throughout her country as over a million immigrants have flooded into Germany from the Middle East and North Africa and she did nothing to stem the crisis [[and even encouraged it) and Turkey of course had virtually sealed it's borders to keep the problems within Syria and Greece [[who could not afford to feed even it's own people let alone a massive refugee influx) and the migrant crisis throughout Europe away from Turkish territory [[other than setting up refugee camos in an effort to keep the fleeing refugees from infiltrating it's population centers) until the EU made political concessions and funded Turkey with massive EU dollars to set up their refugee camps...Interesting though with the recent terrorist attack on their soil how Turkey is making yet another attempt to join the international community now that it realizes that terrorism can strike within it's borders too [[and it's paying off in EU currency)...including it's recent rapprochement with Israel following more than a decade of icy, almost non-existent relations...
