Madam President, it is well known that Turkey is the country that poured oil on the fire in the Middle East. It is the country that has tried in every way to hit Greece even by arming the illegal immigrants. It is therefore hypocritical and outrageous to see the European Union ready to give more money to Turkey, when we know very well that the euros that Erdogan takes turns them into weapons aimed at Greek soldiers. That is why we have two concrete proposals: firstly, that all funding to Turkey be apparently cut off and, secondly, that this money be given to support the Greek port police and the Greek border guards, who guard Thermopylae day and night protecting the Greek and European borders. In closing, I want to say that it should finally be taken for granted that any boat that crosses the Greek border illegally will return to the coast from which it started with its occupants.
