A migrant rights NGO and Greek government officials warn that the crackdown on opposition by Turkey’s president could lead to a huge wave of Turks and others flooding into Europe.
Non-governmental organisation (NGO) Pro-Asyl, a migrant rights group, are warning that the fallout of the massive purges of the army, police, and civil service in Turkey by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could lead to a huge influx of Turkish migrants. The group claims that most of the migrants will likely seek refuge in Germany among the already large Turkish population, reports Kurier. Greek politicians are also worried that the purges could lead to instability that in turn could collapse the European Union-Turkey migrant deal.
A large exodus of Turkish opponents to the Erdoğan regime may inflame existing tensions between Turks in Germany and Austria. Over the weekend thousands of Turks took to the streets of Vienna, Berlin, and other cities to demonstrate their support for President Erdoğan. The aftermath has led to Kurds and other Turkish minorities feeling that they are under threat. Pro-Erdoğan protesters even smashed up offices of a group associated with Imam Gülen, the man Mr. Erdoğan claims was behind the failed coup.
The purge of officials in the Turkish police, army, and civil service shows no signs of stopping and has already affected more than 50,000 people who have been arrested, fired, or suspended from their jobs including academics. Over 1,600 university deans were told to resign from their posts by the government who have, as of Wednesday, imposed a travel ban on university academics to prevent them leaving the country. University employees working overseas have also been told to return to Turkey as soon as possible.

Whether the coup was genuine or not, Erdogan and his Islamic movement are seizing their opportunity with both hands.
