ADDITIONAL 1 BILLION EUROS FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES

After the meeting, Erdoğan stated at the joint press conference, "There is a need for a stronger relationship between Turkey and the EU than ever before." European Commission President von der Leyen, in her speech where she emphasized Turkey's key role in migration, announced that an additional 1 billion euros has been allocated for Syrian refugees in Turkey.

ÖZEL RESPONDS: THERE IS A MAIN OPPOSITION PARTY HERE THAT CAME FIRST IN THE LAST LOCAL ELECTIONS

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel reacted to the meeting. Özel, who opposed only meeting with President Erdoğan, addressed the EU, saying, "There is a main opposition party here that came first in the last local elections."

Özel's statement on the matter is as follows: "He goes, sits with Erdoğan, talks, makes an agreement, shakes hands, and gets his job done. This is a democracy, a democracy despite all its shortcomings. There is a main opposition party here that came first in the last local elections. There are 11 more political parties represented in this parliament besides the AKP-MHP. This country has rules, it has institutions. You cannot see this country as a one-man regime of a Middle Eastern geography. You cannot go and make agreements with him to get your job done. We warn the EU once again from here."
