commission president there was essentially a thinking greece for it's a role as an e.u. border state well lots to unpack let's take you now to max zander who has been tracking the developments on the greek side of the greek turkish border i'm actually what jumped out at you from missive on the lions a message to greece. well you actually said it already this was a strong show of solidarity. the leaders of the european institutions came together with the. greek prime minister to talk us and they brought one common message in that is greece you're doing the right thing europe is behind you there was no criticism of greeks handling of the situation here at the border of the last couple days no criticism of the allege excessive use of force or the illegal pushback by the rather there was praise and that is because the e.u. relies on greece to protect its external borders and that's why it was enough on the line and now it's that the european union would step up its support to protect the greek borders by sending a rapid deployment team by frontex that is the european border

in the next year we're lending greece and everybody to len's and greece will stay and greece or greece breaks international law engages in life threatening push back operations with life rafts and small boats full of refugees including children. to terrify them from coming that will not work it would be illegal and it would mean the refugee convention drowns this he ended jian so in order to have an acceptable choice we need an agreement based on principles that involve being able to return anyone who doesn't need protection to you but that also involves supporting the country that has most refugees in the world and to be honest my sense is that in germany most people most politicians and most people understand this other european countries might feel that they are not concerned nobody comes to these countries and so perhaps they just don't want to pay for refugees in turkey. and that was gerald canal's the architect of the original migration deal between turkey and the european union speaking to brady well on a related note is syria is shaky cease fire has failed to bring stability to
