The EU Commission is accused of contributing to and turning a blind eye to deportations of, among others, Syrians and Afghans from Turkey.
In a report from the journalist collaboration Lighthouse on Friday, in cooperation with several heavyweight newspapers and news sites in Europe, it is testified that the deportations take place without protests from the EU, despite warnings from several quarters.
Everyone knows. People are turning a blind eye to it, says a former EU official to Lighthouse.
Representatives of the EU Commission, however, believe that the responsibility lies with Turkey to ensure that all fundamental rights are respected.
It is Turkey's responsibility to investigate all allegations of irregularities and we urge them to do so, says spokesperson Ana Pisonero.
