Being both the country of refuge and of transit, Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey plays a key-role in the Syrian refugee crisis. The agreement between Brussels and Ankara to manage the flow of migrants, signed with German approval, caused much debate. It also pushed the question of Turkey’s possible membership to the European Union, with the erasure and liberalization of visas being the first qualification.
What is the state of the Turkish-European relationship today? What is Angela Merkel’s strategy toward the Turkish Republic? Is it possible for Europe and Turkey to face the Syrian crisis together?

As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
