Turkey to ‘open the gates’ and allow millions of migrants unrestricted passage into Europe

The Turkish government on Thursday said that it would open its border with Syria and permit any and all migrants from the Middle East to pass through to reach Europe.
The senior Turkish official said that Erdogan’s government has decided to no longer allocate resources to stopping Syrian migrants from reaching Europe by land or sea, Reuters reports.
According to the senior official’s announcement, Turkish police, coast guard, and border security officials have been ordered to stand down.
The move, which Recep Erdogan has been threatening to take for a long time now, comes allegedly due to imminent wave of nearly 1 million Syrian migrants who’ve been displaced from Idlib.
