to that which we saw in 2015 or more on this we're joined now by the president of the austrian institute for european policy and security in vienna thanks for joining us great to have you on the program today this is something turkey has been threatening to do for a while hasn't it what's its goal here what designer aim to achieve by opening its borders with the e.u. . i would say primary goal probably is to develop pressure against the european union in order to squeeze old more money and maybe also some other assistance in specially in economic questions do you think financial assistance here is the primary goal or do you think it's seeking support for its military operations in northern syria in adler province. do not think the government really believes to europe will assist in this fighting it leiber region in syria due to defect in italy you will find many. organizations close to it but also close to former al qaeda and this certainly is something that the europeans will not back and in. i think the. at least highest priority will be given to financial questions between european union and turke

increasingly similar to that which we saw in 201531st lab and is the president of the austrian institute for european policy securities in vienna he says the e.u. needs a comprehensive approach to tackle the crisis. i think it's it's ok that turkey is looking for help for fighting instance but this is not everything what we have to look at is also how can people be brought to go back to their home country this is the 1st reason and this fires i seed many a 100000 people who left syria in the past they did not belong to the opposition forces but they just fled due to the. horrible situation of fighting. of the different groups and of course at least some of them could be brought back to syria. what is needed is for sure a whole package in order to solve these questions it will not be only money and it will not be any other assistance like assistance at the borders but it will be also a package that goes to the center of the problem which means bringing people back to their home country trying to find further solutions in order to pacify the whole situation. has been a backlash against sexual minority
