The crisis of migrants and the EU: Turkey , the eternal candidate, problem or solution? (DIEEEO49-2016)

The crisis of migrants that began in mid-2015 threatens to become one of the most serious challenges the EU will face in the upcoming months and perhaps in the coming years. Added to this drama, or rather this human tragedy, joins the political inability to tackle the roots of the problem, the wars in Syria and Iraq, as well as the logistical difficulty to alleviate the plight of the people who come by thousands every day to European soil. Amid all this is located an actor who plays a key role: Turkey, a bridge between East and West, the everlasting candidate member to the Twenty Eight Club. Over this colossus that occupies the Anatolian peninsula overlies a key question, is it part of the problem or the solution?
