Turkey doesnt give out refugee status and has little protection for refugees, including being able to return them to where they are fleeing from, it is completely overloaded with a lack of resources.

While Europe makes it disgustingly hard for refugees to enter the human rights and eu law provided make it a much more realistic place to be stable / settled if you can get in.

Turkey is giving them a true refugee status rather than allowing them to arbitrarily seek asylum, Turkey is actually completely abiding by the UN convention on refugees while the EU are playing by their own rules.

Maybe rather than forcing people to cross the sea, we could send money directly in the first place.
