Tusk: Days of illegal immigration are over

European Council President Donald Tusk said after a summit with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu that the "days of irregular migration to Europe are over," as the two leaders reached an agreement to stem the flow of migrants coming to EU through the Balkans.

"the Turkish PM confirmed that Turkey will take back irregular migrants apprehended on Turkish waters," Tusk wrote on Twitter.

Turkey has agreed to to take back migrants who are apprehended on the Aegean Sea and it will also implement an agreement "to accept the rapid return of all migrants not in need of international protection crossing from Turkey into Greece." Tusk added that the EU has agreed to look at resettling some of the millions of refugees currently in Turkey. Additional arrangements include a "one in, one out" system, where one Syrian refugee would be resettled in the EU for every person who was sent back to Turkey from Greece, and putting those refugees who are seeking to enter Europe illegally at the bottom of the list for resettlement. In return, Turkey wants to advance talks of the country joining the European Union, and visa-free travel for Turkish citizens into the Schengen zone.
