the Spanish policy “want to check in situ the treatment they are receiving people coming from Syria and who have been deported from Greece “and conditions” under which is applying the EU-Turkey agreement. ”
After a first round of meetings with lawyers, doctors and NGOs, Albiol explained that “all have expressed concern that Turkey is deporting Afghans and Iraqis to their country of origin.”
One of the pillars used by the EU to close the deal with Turkey is to be considered a safe third country and trying to legitimize the deportations from Greece.
“Before coming to Istanbul and we said that the situation human rights in Turkey, with attacks on freedom of speech and press, with the slaughter against the Kurdish people, or the ease with which Ankara treats the Daesh (acronym in Arabic of the Islamic State, outlawed in Russia and other countries) was sufficient reason not to give this consideration and today the people we have met, from which we can not give or name for fear of reprisals, we have confirmed, “he warned Albiol.

One of the NGOs with which interviewed MEP confirmed that the Turkish army on the border with Syria “practical returns on a daily hot” and that “even gets to shoot those trying to enter the country fleeing Daesh”, which confirms the allegations of the past weeks of killings of refugees at the border, as detailed by the organization.
NGOs “also reported abuse, physical violence and sexual violence in detention centers and refugee camps and refugees”.
“Turkey is not a safe country and what Europe is doing by deporting refugees is putting his life in danger, “he said Albiol.
the MEP explained that only Syrians and Syrian have” be refugees under the guise of temporary protection “, but conditions in which they are living “are absolutely dramatic”.
Albiol detailed in a statement that only 10 percent of the two million refugees and refugee Syrian there in Turkey are in the fields, “the rest is roaming the Turkish cities while the government does not provide accommodation does not facilitate their access to employment or cover their basic needs. “
Operation
According to NGOs consulted by the GUE / NGL group, the Syrians and Syrian trying to rebuild their lives in Turkey “are being victims of brutal exploitation.”
“those who work do so in factories for miserable salaries and without any recognized right,” said Albiol.
in addition, “it is assumed that children have the right to go to schools public, but many of them can not go because after 10 years they will work to factories, “he complained.
in exchange for taking over refugees deported from Greece, the European Union committed payment of 6,000 million euros to Turkey, but “given the situation, it is clear that this money is not going to stop refugees, but to build deportation centers and border control,” criticized Spanish politics.
