they need. but now with the new turkey deal, we see a clear violation of humanitarian principles, where aid is dependent on political cooperation and that is something which we are definitely against. the principles that are core to our organization. host: you say you have been critical for some time, so why now? what is it that you want the eu to do now? >> the turning point was definitely the turkey deal, where people were stuck from receiving help and kept in turkey, where it was difficult for them to receive help. and the closest border with turkey, very close to syria, and people cannot escape the terrible situation there. we do not want the eu to follow a specific policy, we want the refugees who need help, to
