🔸 Turkey wants a package deal with the EU. In other words, Immigration - Refugees in exchange for very strong EU exchanges with Turkey.
🔸 "Cooperation on Immigration - he added - is an important aspect of the Declaration of March 18, 2016 (s.s. agreement on Immigration - Refugee), but it is not just an Agreement on Immigration.

These include speeding up accession negotiations, modernizing the Customs Union, liberalizing visa arrangements, holding regular high-level meetings and strengthening co-operation in the fight against terrorism"

/GBG/🟢 To sum it up, Turkey wants bigger and better deals with the EU, getting more benefits or else they will make the immigration crisis even worse, more blackmail as usual

The Sirens were hybrid creatures with the body of a bird and the head of a woman, sometimes also with human arms. Ovid wrote that the Sirens were human companions of Persephone and, failing to prevent her rape, they were transformed into Sirens as punishment. The Sirens had beautiful singing voices and they played lyres. Their cult was especially prevalent at southern Italy. They became a staple part of pottery scenes depicting Odysseus' voyage home (like the one in the picture). In Homer's Odyssey, they attempted to lure Odysseus and his crew as they passed on their home voyage to lthaca following the Trojan War. To escape from their singing voices, as advised by Circe, the hero had himself tied to his ship's mast while the rest of his crew were made immune by blocking their ears with wax and so they all safely sailed on out of harms way. According to Homer the Sirens awaited passing ships and with their music enticed sailors to their doom
