Brussels falseflag

[Ognir]

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-23/explosive-accusation-belgium-had-advance-and-precise-warning-about-airport-and-subwa

In what, if true, is the most incendiary allegation of the day, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reports that Belgian security services and other Western intelligence agencies had "advance and precise intelligence warnings" regarding Tuesday's bombings. According to the paper, "the security services knew, with a high degree of certainty, that attacks were planned in the very near future for the airport and, apparently, for the underground railway as well."


Here is the full Haaretz report:

The Belgian security services, as well as other Western intelligence agencies, had advance and precise intelligence warnings regarding the terrorist attacks in Belgium on Tuesday, Haaretz has learned.

The security services knew, with a high degree of certainty, that attacks were planned in the very near future for the airport and, apparently, for the subway as well.

Despite the advance warning, the intelligence and security preparedness in Brussels, where most of the European Union agencies are located, was limited in its scope and insufficient for the severity and immediacy of the alert.

As far as is known, the attacks were planned by the headquarters of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Raqqa, Syria, which it has pronounced as the capital of its Islamic caliphate.

The terror cell responsible for the attacks in Brussels on Tuesday was closely associated with the network behind the series of attacks in Paris last November. At this stage, it appears that both were part of the same terrorist infrastructure, connected at the top by the terrorist Salah Abdeslam, who was involved in both the preparation for the Paris attacks and its implementation.

Abdeslam escaped from Paris after the November attacks, hid out in Brussels and was arrested last week by the Belgian authorities.

Abdeslam's arrest was apparently the trigger for Tuesday's attacks, due to the concern in ISIS that he might give information about the planned attacks under interrogation, particularly in the light of reports that he was cooperating with his captors.

The testimony of the detained terrorist, alongside other intelligence information, part of which concerned ISIS operations in Syria, should have resulted in much more stringent security preparedness in crowded public places in Brussels, along with a heightened search for the cell.
If this report is accurate, it leads to many unpleasant and frankly disturbing questions for both local as well as international authorities, like why in the aftermath of the Salah Abdeslam capture did Belgium not at least issue a heightened state of alert, as it did in November in the aftermath of the Paris bombings, when overnight Brussels looked like an army ghost town; at least it was safe.

Recall from our November report of how Brussels looks like a warzone after the Paris terrorist attack:

This time, however, the local police did nothing and the result was over 30 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

What's worse as of this moment the third suspect remain at large: as Haaretz reminds us, "the search is focused on the terrorist Najim Laachraoui, who created the explosive vests used by the bombers and escaped from the airport at the last moment."

There is concern, however, that other cells connected to ISIS in Western Europe will attempt to carry out additional attacks in the near future, either in Belgium or in other countries involved in the war against the terror organization in Syria and Iraq.

How Europe will handle the ongoing deadly fallout from the bursting of this one terrorist cell, will be closely watched, and should Tuesday's event recur when local authorities had been warned about an upcoming terrorist attack leading to no specific action, perhaps some will finally ask if the local governments were at least partially complicit in the deaths of dozens of innocent people, for motives first hinted at in that infamous 2008 AIG Banque presentation which has so far predicted with absolute accuracy the future of the Eurozone.

Two of the bombers were arrested last week and released.

Verdict on Brussels Blasts: Fraud Beyond the Pale
by Russ Winter   
http://winteractionables.com/?p=31698

It has been a full 24 hours since the Brussels airport blasts, and a search via Google for images of the event produces pretty much the same photos as yesterday. There's a a small scattering of new material, but few pictures show carnage. There's also a stunning lack of cell phone imagery so far. The Daily Mail offers a collection of photos, such as the one below that was taken at a time when the fires were still smoldering and a handful of people nearby. Do you see even one casualty?



This is the main "money shot" of the event. Alleged to be at Malbeek metro station, this photo could have been taken anywhere or be a stock photo. Or they could have cleared the scene and blown it up in place. No sign of carnage or blood whatsoever.


Malbeek train carriage

Next, a video shown by the fraud Daily Mail that purports to show the moments after the blast. You can see smoke and what looks like a nearly empty terminal. In fact, it shows basically nothing. What bizarre imagery. Is this serious? What is a thinking person supposed to make of this when the story line is a mass casualty event?

In the next picture, we see a calm "injured" younger man who looks to be about 8 feet tall. Compare his freakish hand size to his head. Try extending your left foot in that position with your leg straight. This is very reminiscent of the freak show in the Paris attack where a giant laid covered on the sidewalk, as shown in second photo below.

Wilt the Stilt in Paris

A CCTV clip that purportedly shows a deadly explosion appears to be recycled footage of a bomb attack that took place at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow in 2011. The video, which shows people walking before they duck and flee following an explosion, has been widely shared on social media since the Brussels blasts.

Ladies and gentleman, airport CCTV cameras take videos with a time stamp. There are abundant security cameras in major airports and metro stations. So what do we get from Brussels besides this? More insults to our intelligence: A grainy still shot of three guys pushing luggage carts.

Further illustrating just how low the fraudsters consider your intelligence to be: A story of a 19-year-old man who has now survived his third high-profile terrorist attack. He was injured in this one. I'm not a statistician, but what are odds? One in 10 quadrillion?

Par for the course, it's none other than Ziopath Rita Katz who offers tweets that prove "ISIL did it." Yeah, sure Rita. Notice that the Zio media dutifully reports the ISIL connections as "confirmed" because such a "reliable source" as Katz is involved. Katz would be relatively easy to expose as a fraud, but nobody touches her.

The Israeli aviation and general security services firm ICTS handles security operations at Brussels airport.

Does the next video show a psychopathic reveal? Is it the Larry "Pull It" Silverstein moment of the Brussels attack? Haaretz out of Israel reports remarks by Likudnik minister Ofir Akunis: "Many in Europe have preferred to deal foolishly with condemning Israel, labeling (settlement) products and boycotts. Meanwhile, under the noses of those living on the continent, thousands of Islamist extremist terrorist cells have arisen."

Sounds like a LIHOP.

But, who trusts Israel ?

Ankara-Amsterdam : IS-Jihad rat-line ?



Breaking/Exclusive: Erdogan to Belgium, Screw you, we will do it again!
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor on March 25, 2016
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/03/25/erdogan-to-belgium-screw-you-we-will-do-it-again/

  "Turkey boasts of "deporting" Barkouri, a known terrorist to Belgium...deporting,
   dont you mean SENDING?
   
   Ibrahim el-Bakraoui

   [ Editor's Note: We have the confirmed story with multiple sources,
     Brussels airport bomber Bakraoui was recruited while an ISIS jihadi in
     Syria, because of his Belgian passport.
     
     While in Raqqah, at a suicide bomber training facility, he was taken by
     Turkish intelligence across the border where he was "arrested" and
     "deported" to the Netherlands.
     
     There, according to airline security sources, Bakraoui, as with other
     terrorists as well, was walked around security by employees of Israeli
     ICTS, the same company that aided "crotch bomber" Umar Farouk
     Abdulmutallab board Northwest Flight 253 in Amsterdam on Christmas Day
     2009 without a passport or ticket, placing him in First Class.
     
     As you will learn below, Bakraoui was arrested as a known terrorist by
     Turkey and not imprisoned or turned over to Belgian authorities but
     "allowed" to return, not to Belgium but to the Netherlands, on a
     commercial flight, despite the fact that the same records that led to
     both the arrest of Bakraoui and his "deportation" because of his known
     terror background, as Erdogan claimed in his press conference yesterday.
     
     
     Here we go again, another "walk through" by Israeli security
     
     Where Erdogan is caught lying, the first of many in this incident, is
     this; Turkey is signatory to not only international conventions but
     NATO security agreements as well that preclude any threat to airline
     security from boarding a plane. This is only the beginning. Now to Jim
     W. Dean:
     
     We have something here that has been missed by everyone else, hiding in
     plain site. Belgium claims it was not correctly notified by Turkey of
     Bakraoui being sent back...DEPORTED actually. But Erdogan has made a big
     mistake himself.
     
     You cannot put a deported terrorist on a commercial airline, especially
     by himself. It it grossly illegal to do such. Anyone on the no fly
     list, which all terrorist suspects are supposed to be on, can never fly
     commercial for the rest of their lives.
     
     Many people who have said things that have pissed off powerful people
     have been put on no fly list purely as a punishment, to make an example
     of them as was down with VT board member General Hamid Gul.
     
     
     General Hamid Gul – former VT board member
     
     But even if by multiple screw ups he got onto a plane, once your
     passport has been scanned into the airline's computer, while you are
     flying along you name is being ground through every database base there
     is to catch any mistake that the boarding people made so that "special
     people" can be waiting to escort you into the interrogation room when
     you arrive.
     
     But if he went to Schipol airport as claimed he arrived at the Mossad's
     European transportation hub where all kinds of special treatment is
     available for terrorists, like the shoe bomber with a one way cash
     ticket, no luggage, and no passport, but a bomb in his shoes got VIP
     treatment in getting onto the plane. Does any of this sound just a
     little bit unbelievable?
     
     And lastly, if an arrested terrorist was just put on a plane to
     Amsterdam by the Turks as claimed, against all NATO and EU conventions,
     and nobody claims to have known at that time, how many other times do
     you this this "Turkish Express" has been used in the past?
     
     
     The Magic Carpet Jihadi Express
     
     Could Turkey have pulled this off solely on its own, or would a
     cooperating party had to have been in place at the landing location,
     like with an Israeli security company.
     
     And then would assets have to be in place to make sure that the
     passenger boarding was blocked somehow from going through all the watch
     list database. We know both brothers were in the US watch list and
     would have popped right up.
     
     So why has not anyone shown any interests in how these jihadis have
     been flying around all this time, which VT has constantly railed about,
     yours truly as the "Ali Babba's Magic Carpet Express", when VT has had
     up to a half dozen people on the no fly lists who were not terrorists?
     ... Jim W. Dean ]
   
   
   European "insecurity" is being put on display, including the failure of leadership

   – First published  ... March 25, 2016  –
   
   Yesterday, Turkish President Erdogan bragged about sending a terror
   bomber to Belgium. According to Erdogan, Bakraoui was arrested inside
   Turkey, in Gaziantep province as a terrorist.
   
   Rather than jail Bakraoui, as Erdogan does with his personal
   detractors, "tweeters" and journalists, the terrorist was somehow
   "sent" to Belgium, where is has been identified as responsible for the
   deaths of 32 and wounding of 300. In a statement made to reporters,
   Erdogan, while standing alongside visiting Romanian President Klaus
   Iohannis, said:
   
      "One of the Brussels attackers was detained in Gaziantep and then
       deported. Despite our warnings that this person was a foreign terrorist
       fighter, the Belgian authorities could not identify a link to terrorism"
   
   However, in a VT report published March 24, 2016, Kurdish forces inside
   Syria confirmed information received from a captured Turkish
   intelligence officer telling of a longstanding Turkish terror operation
   that had been sending jihadis like Bakraoui into Europe, aided by
   Turkish organized crime groups across the European Union.
   
   
    ......my dog ate my homework...
   
   Later, the Turkish press agency re-contacted reporters stating that
   they may have sent him to Netherlands, or that Barkraoui may have gone
   to Belgium and then to Netherlands, they weren't sure, but that
   President Erdogan blamed incompetent authorities in both Belgium and
   Netherlands for the attacks.
   
   
   
   According to Erdogan, he had warned Belgium or perhaps the Netherlands,
   that he was sending a dangerous terrorist there and that they either
   failed to listen or simply didn't understand Turkish policy.
   
   Seemingly, NATO partner and EU membership applicant Turkey has a
   national policy of sending Islamic terrorists to Belgium and, when they
   kill dozens in attacks, blames the victims for being unaware of Turkish
   policy.
   
   Yesterday, the Syrian YPG, a Kurdish group inside Syria fighting ISIS
   while also under attack by Erdogan forces, announced in an exclusive VT
   report, that it had captured a Turkish officer north of Raqqah, the
   ISIS military headquarters inside Syria.
   
   That officer, under interrogation, confessed his role, later confirmed
   in a story by Israeli news agency Haaretz, in planning the Brussels
   attacks and recruiting and training the suicide bombers including
   Bakraoui.
   
   From the VT story by Nahed al Husaini, Bureau Chief Damascus:
   
   VT's Nahed al Husaini – Damascus
   
   Damascus VT/ Kurdish Popular Forces serving in Syria today captured a
   senior Turkish intelligence official who has, under "enhanced
   interrogation" implicated President Erdogan.
   
   VT was given access to recorded confessions which detailed the role of
   the MIT in the Brussels explosions along with plans for more attacks
   across Europe.
   
   The "suspect" has confessed his role in planning the Brussels attack in
   coordination with ISIS at Raqqah.
   
   Intelligence that led to the capture was supplied by a Russian signal
   intercept. We are told that no Russians were involved in the capture
   but that a Spetsnaz team may have been available for support.
   
   Turkish intelligence runs an operational planning center in an
   underground complex in Raqqah, according to our unwilling informant.
   The center, built under an athletic facility, contains stockpiles of
   chemical and biological weapons including sarin gas, swine flu and tons
   of materials for producing mustard and chlorine gas.
   
   The US hit the center in October 2014 in coordination with a Syrian
   "Tiger" unit which led to the capture of Qatari, Saudi and Turkish
   officers in one of less than a half dozen highly secret joint
   operations.
   
   The interrogation notes we received thus far from European Department
   for Security and information (DESI) Secretary General DR Haissam Bou
   Said indicted that Turkish intelligence MIT was behind the horrific
   twin suicide bombings and that Turkish terror cells across Europe had
   been planted years ago in coordination with an organized crime
   infrastructure long involved in human trafficking, narcotics and
   working with Israeli and Saudi groups staging false flag terror attacks.
   
   Erdogan, according to our source, has been channeling MIT trained
   terror cells hidden within the carefully orchestrated influx of
   refugees, directing them to "berths" within the Turkish crime
   communities long established in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
   
   
   The VT A-Team at the Damascus anti-tetrorism conference, Dec. 2014, Col.
   Hanke 3rd from R – photo Jim W. Dean archives
   
   In an interview today, VT military affairs editor, Colonel James Hanke,
   former G2 (Intelligence Chief) of NATO's largest command, 3rd Army,
   noted the following:

   
   Capt. Jim Hanke, Special Forces team leader – Vietnam... a big target
   
   NATO had long been aware of Turkey's plan to destabilize the EU.
   European unemployment has soared under rising wages, increased taxation
   and strict environmental regulations while prime manufacturing jobs
   have gone to Turkey with that nation building an industrial base,
   including an arms industry as well, eclipsing EU growth.
   
   The manufactured refugee crisis, coordinated with Israel and Saudi
   Arabia, is simply a next step in a destabilization ploy, followed by
   what we are now seeing, a terror offensive.
   
   Worse still, the EU with a corrupt and incompetent bureaucracy and
   intelligence agencies long infiltrated by the MIT and Mossad, has no
   counter-terrorism capability at all.
   
   When you add to that a controlled press, then the political swing to
   the radical right we are now seeing, which will bring about an
   implosion of the EU, the 're-Balkanization of Europe, if you can excuse
   the pun, is inevitable.
   
   Background
   
   A lesser-known photo of Abdulmutallab during Yemen training
   
   Reuters reports Dutch military police are investigating claims that an
   accomplice may have helped Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab board Northwest
   Flight 253 in Amsterdam on Christmas day without a passport.
   
   Kurt Haskell of Newport, Mich., took to the comments section of this
   Web site early Saturday to share his story:
   
   He and his wife, Lori, saw a well-dressed man help Abdulmutallab board
   the flight without a passport under the guise he was a Sudanese
   refugee. The military police have already said Abdulmutallab did not go
   through passport control at Schiphol when he arrived from Lagos.
   
   In another interview on Inside Edition, Haskell described what happened:
   
   
   Attorney Kurt Haskell – shoe bomber witness
   
   A passenger has come forward with disturbing new details about the plot
   to bring down a jet, including the astonishing claim that the accused
   terrorist was able to board the plane without a passport.
   
   Kurt Haskell showed INSIDE EDITION his boarding pass for Northwest
   flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit. The lawyer, who lives outside
   Detroit, was returning home from an African safari when he says he saw
   the terror suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallabm, and another man, who he
   thought was Indian, approach the ticket agent.
   "Only the Indian man spoke," says Haskell, "And what he said was, 'This
   man needs to board the plane but he doesn't have a passport.' "
   
   "His clothes were like jeans and a t-shirt or something, he looked kind
   of thin, like a 16-year-old teenager, and the other man, looked like he
   was 50 years old, looked like he was a wealthy, Indian man. I just
   couldn't figure out why they were together," Haskell tells INSIDE
   EDITION.
   
   An earlier CBS news report today stated:
   
   CBS News has learned the State Department system designed to keep track
   of active U.S. visas twice failed to reveal Nigerian terror suspect
   Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had been issued an active visa allowing him
   multiple entries into the United States.
   
   
   The "crotch bomber's" iconic photo
   
   According to a law enforcement source, the first failure came on Nov.
   19, 2009, the very same day Abdulmutallab father's, Dr. Umaru Mutallab,
   a prominent banking official in Nigeria, expressed deep concern to
   officials at the U.S. Embassy in Abjua, Nigeria, that his 23-year-old
   son had fallen under the influence of "religious extremists" in Yemen.
   
   The second failure to flag an active visa belonging to Abdulmuttalab
   occurred the very next day in Washington, after Mutallab's concerns
   were forwarded to officials there. It was only after the Christmas Day
   terror attack in Detroit that U.S. officials learned that Abdulmuttalab
   had been issued a visa by the U.S. Embassy in London valid from June
   16, 2008, through June 12, 2010.
   
   Wayne Madsen Report on Schiphol
   
   Let's look at the Wayne Madsen report on the failures at the airport in
   Amsterdam along with direct ties between this case and the shoe bomber
   Richard Reid:
   
  The Mutallab case also resembles that of another attempted plane
   bombing, that of the hapless "shoe bomber" Richard Reid.
   
   It has also been revealed that Mutallab is the son of Alhaji Umaru
   Mutallab, the former chairman of First Bank of Nigeria.
   
   
   Alhaji Umaru Mutallab – Dad tried to turn him in
   
   According to This Day of Lagos, the elder Mutallab claims he reported
   the extremist views of his son to Nigerian security agencies, as well
   as to the U.S. embassy in Abuja, yet no attempt was made to prevent the
   radically-inclined Nigerian student to board the plane in Schiphol.
   
   The attempted plane bomber was schooled at the British International
   School in Lome, Togo and attended college in London and moved to Egypt
   and Dubai. The elder Mutallab is a frequent visitor to the United
   States and he is married to a Yemeni woman. ...
   
   Madsen points out the well-established family ties to Yemen thru his
   wife.  He further points out how Israel managed to bring the terrorist
   son of Mutallab through multiple airport security obstacles with the
   same ease the United States shepherded a known terrorist through a visa
   process. What we hadn't seen is how much this process had been tested
   during the "shoe bomber" episode.
   
   For a number of years, passengers at Schiphol flying to the United
   States have been subjected to intense grilling by security personnel
   linked to an Israeli firm.
   
   US bound passengers at Schiphol are asked a number of personal
   questions, including where they have stayed either in the Netherlands
   or in their country of origin. Hotel receipts are routinely requested
   by security personnel and the addresses of private temporary residences
   are recorded.
   
   Mutallab boarded a KLM flight in Lagos for Schiphol where he transited
   for his onward flight to Detroit on Northwest/Delta.
   
   Shoe Bomber, Richard Reid
   
   
   Six months prior to Reid's near shoe bombing of American Airlines
   flight 63 from Paris to Miami in December 2001, while memories of 9/11
   were still fresh in everyone's mind, Reid attempted to board an El Al
   flight from Schiphol to Tel Aviv.
   
   Reid was taken aside by El Al security and identified as a terrorist
   suspect. Reid paid for a one-way ticket with cash and would not reveal
   what he planned to do in Israel.
   
   However, rather than turning Reid into Dutch security for further
   action, he was allowed to board the El Al flight by Israel's Shin Bet
   security so his movements during his five days in Israel could be
   monitored, according to sources.
   
   At this point, Richard Reid was on every no-fly list in the world and
   was officially labeled a "terror suspect."
   
       Six months later, Reid attempted to ignite his shoe on the flight
       from Paris to Miami. Israel had not informed British, American, or any
       other security agency of the "concerns" about Reid. Reid's aunt,
       Claudette Lewis who raised Reid in south London, was quoted as saying
       she believed her nephew had been "brainwashed" while in Israel.
   
   Reid later said El Al failed to detect that he had explosives in his
   shoes on the flight to Tel Aviv, an amazing revelation considering the
   Israeli airline's tight security.
   
       The security company that allowed Reid to board American Airlines 63
       at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris was ICTS (International
       Consultants on Targeted Security) International. ICTS's senior
       management are all ex-Israeli security officials, many of whom worked
       for El Al security.
   
   It was ICTS that largely developed the passenger "profiling" procedures
   used at Schiphol and other airports around the world through its
   subsidiary, ICTS Holland Products BV.

Pentagon Orders Hundreds Of Military Families To Evacuate Turkey
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/29/2016 11:24 -0400
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-29/state-department-and-dod-order-hundreds-military-families-evacuate-turkey

  "Has the US finally had enough of its "ally" Erdogan? 
   
   Moments ago the DOD announced that the Secretary of Defense, in
   coordination with the Secretary of State, has authorized the ordered
   departure of all DoD dependents not assigned to Chief of Mission
   authority from Adana (to include Incirlik Air Base), Ismir, and Mugla,
   Turkey. This decision allows for the deliberate, safe return of family
   members from these areas due to continued security concerns in the
   region.
   
   It adds that while "this step does not signify a permanent decision to
   end accompanied tours at these facilities", the evacuation "is intended
   to mitigate the risk to DoD elements and personnel, including family
   members, while ensuring the combat effectiveness of U.S. forces and our
   mission support to operations in Turkey. The United States and Turkey
   are united in our common fight against ISIL, and Incirlik continues to
   play a key role in counter-ISIL operations."
   
         "The decision to move our families and civilians was made in
        consultation with the Government of Turkey, our State Department,
        and our Secretary of Defense," said Gen. Philip M. Breedlove,
        Commander, U.S. European Command. "We understand this is disruptive
        to our military families, but we must keep them safe and ensure the
        combat effectiveness of our forces to support our strong Ally
        Turkey in the fight against terrorism."
   
   Stars and Stripes adds more:
   
        The Pentagon is ordering the evacuation of nearly 700 military
        family members from Incirlik Air Base and two smaller military
        installations in Turkey because of concerns over the deteriorating
        security environment there.
   
        Families are expected to begin leaving Turkey on Wednesday,
        stopping first at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, before continuing
        on to the States or other duty locations, U.S. European Command
        told Stars and Stripes.
   
        "We understand this is disruptive to our military families, but we
        must keep them safe and ensure the combat effectiveness of our
        forces to support our strong ally Turkey in the fight against
        terrorism," EUCOM chief Gen. Philip Breedlove said Tuesday in a
        statement.
   
        The mandatory departure order, announced by the State Department,
        affects nearly all Defense Department dependents assigned to
        Incirlik, as well as those at smaller bases in Izmir and Mugla.
   
        About 670 dependents are expected to be evacuated, along with 287
        pets. About 770 dependents, most from Incirlik, are currently in
        Turkey, EUCOM spokeswoman Julie Weckerlein said. Those allowed to
        stay are the family members of mission-essential personnel.
   
   This is all taking place one day after the Turkey Foreign Ministry,
   outraged by a satirical clip making fun of the Turkish President and
   his recent policies that was broadcast on German television, summoned
   the German Ambassador for official explanations. Following the
   broadcast of the satirical piece titled "Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan" on
   NDR show titled "Extra 3" on March 17, German Ambassador Martin Erdmann
   was summoned up several days later to officially explain "in length"
   the reasons for the broadcaster's behavior, Der Speigel has learned.
   
   The one minute and 52 second long satire package showing footage from
   recent history in Turkey criticized Erdogan's increased crackdown on
   the freedom of the press and hostile policies in the region, including
   Turkey's alleged support for Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL)
   fighters in neighboring Syria.
   
   The video also focused on the lavish living of the Turkish president
   and his multibillion euro deals with the Europeans to keep migrants at
   bay. The broadcast on German television comes at a time when Germany,
   as part of EU is actively seeking closer ties with Turkey to help
   tackle the migrant crisis in Europe.
   
   Erdogan's crackdown on journalists and restrictions on freedom of
   speech have been repeatedly criticized by the international community,
   along with Ankara's controversial anti-terrorists campaign against
   Kurdish militants which inflicted much suffering on Turkey's minority
   population.
