ANKARA - Minister of Interrior Suleyman Soylu targeting the European countries that reacts to Turkey's North and East Syria Operation, said: "400 thousand refugees will arrive at your coasts in a month. This is not a threat this is an observation."
Speaking at the Annual Leaders Meeting of the Coast Guard Organization Cooperation Forum of the Black Sea Countries in Antalya, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu threatened European countries through refugees.
Soylu said: "At the moment we have reached beyond our limits in irregular migration. At present, nearly 200 boats of our coast guard, coastal rescue ships and 70% of our sea rescue vehicles struggle only with irregular migration. We work four times our capacity. Let's work with our own capacity, not four times our Coast Guard capacity. Then 7 thousand refugees will get to Greece in a week. 100 thousand in the second week, 200 thousand in the third week and 4 thousand in a month. That actually happened before. This is not a threat, this is an observation. I want to ask Europe, do you realize what you're doing?"
