EU sources say Turkey accepted the return of economic migrants

Turkey will not accept, though, the return of refugees from war zones

Turkey has agreed to accept the return of economic migrants, EU sources on Friday said in exclusive statements to ANA-MPA.

The decision will be included in the statement of the EU summit on Monday in Brussels, they said, adding however that Turkey will not accept the return of refugees from war zones.

Financial Times reported that EU is close to a breakthrough deal with Ankara that would see all non-Syrian migrants reaching Greek islands returned to Turkey, marking a crucial step in the bloc’s hardening stance against the flow of people pouring into its territories.

Citing two diplomats, Financial Times also said that Turkey agreed to accept all migrants rescued in international waters by a NATO mission.
