Turkey and the European Union will seek to bring the uncontrolled tide of migrants from Syria into Europe under control, the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said during a joint press conference with his Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras in Izmir.
"Our common aim is to turn uncontrolled migration into controlled migration. The corridor from Syria is often used by migrants from other countries, who are not victims of war. We have taken the decision to impose a legal framework on this. Illegal migrants trying to enter Greece through Turkey will be detained and taken back to Turkey," Trend cited Davutoglu as saying.
