Risks are increasing that Turkey could drop a "human bomb" on Europe by opening its borders for refugees to enter Greece and other European Union countries unless political relations are mended. Tensions have risen with Turkish President, Tayyib Erodogan expressing fury over a new set of 72 EU conditions which were suddenly imposed on the country and veiled threats have been issued that Turkey will not honour its EU-Turkey refugee agreement - also known as “the shame deal” - made last year. The threats reportedly stem from the EU's failure to meet two key commitments it made in exchange for the deal, including allowing Turkish citizens EU member country access without entry visas.
