Cyprus President Plans to Veto EU-Turkey Deal

 
Cyprus will veto a planned EU-Turkey deal on refugees unless Ankara recognises the country’s Greek Cypriot government, President Nicos Anastasiades told euronews in an interview on Thursday.

Last week, Germany brokered a deal with the Turkish government that would see migrants who reach Greece from Turkey sent back.

The draft agreement says that for each Syrian returned, a Syrian in Turkey would be resettled in an EU country.

In return, the EU says it will look to speed up Turkey’s EU membership talks and could offer up to 6 billion euros in financial aid for Syria refugees in Turkey.
