The EU paid 6 billion to help Turkey with its migration crisis[1]. In addition to this, they also receive money from other funds like Horizon2020, funding for industry innovation, as part of the pathway of Turkeys to get full EU membership. This is crazy. I am not even against paying for facilities for refugees outside of the EU or give grants for research. We have a long history of cultural exchange dating back to the eastern roman empire and before. What a joke EU politics has become, no majority is in favor of Turkey joining the union, only the large diaspora of Turks. The Brexit is a mistake, The Donald is an idiot, but at least they made people get out of their sofa and vote instead of this semi-democracy we call the EU.
