EU heads of state government: In the final hours before the deportation of refugees from Greece to Turkey is scheduled to begin, it remains unclear whether this agreement is even legal - not to mention how it might be implemented, according to Deutsche Welle. On March 18, EU heads of state and government concluded a deal with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to finally seal the pathway to fortress Europe. Unfortunately, that not something that will be possible for a while. The pact, which aims to secure the maritime border between Turkey and Greece, requires that Greece implement a fair asylum process in the span of a few days - something that the country has been unable to accomplish for years. On top of all this, EU member states plan to send thousands of civil servants to Greece and Turkey to ensure that peace and order prevail during the process. Additionally, the deal requires that Turkey ensure that refugees sent to the country after their asylum applications are rejected enjoy the rights afforded to them by the Geneva convention on refugees, in line with international law.
