“If we were a country that was an enemy of Armenians, we would have sent all of these people back to Armenia,” he said, referring to the community of more than 100,000 Armenians living in Turkey at the moment.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan castigated German MPs for the vote. He scorned the 11 MPs of Turkish origin, saying, "What sort of Turks are they?"
"Their blood must be tested in a lab," he said.
Ankara's mayor showed the 11 in a tweet saying they "stabbed us in the back".
Turkey recalled its ambassador from Berlin in fury after the German parliament on Thursday voted overwhelmingly for the Armenian "genocide" resolution.
"Their blood must be tested in a lab," he said.
He raises a very good point here but...“Under the elegant pavements of Berlin, Paris, Brussels are lives, blood, efforts and elbow greases of Africans,” he said.
lmao at this. This guy needs to sit down.Erdogan praised Turkish history as one “of mercy and compassion,” while blaming the West for exploiting millions of African immigrants for cheap labor.
The 11 German MPs of Turkish origin have received death threats and Erdogan wants their blood tested:

Kinda makes you long for the old days when the Turkish military used to "intervene" in the civil affairs of the state.
I mean, the Turkish military did overthrow two governments by memorandum in 1971 and 1997.
Turkey to suspend EU migration deal if no visa-free travel for Turks: minister
Turkey would have to suspend its agreement with the European Union to stem the flow of migrants into the bloc if there is no deal to grant visa-free travel to Turks, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told state broadcaster TRT Haber on Tuesday.
In a live televised interview, Cavusoglu said the German government must make clear its stance is not in line with a German parliament resolution declaring the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turkish forces a genocide.
Military needs to be backed by international organization or they could fail. Both 1960 and 1997 coups backed by NATO but they don't seem to care right now. They have to act quick or erdogan will try his luck on being a World Emperor.
As if more proof was needed Turkey has no shame whatsoever.Breaking news...
Turkey have now just given the EU an ultimatum.
According to Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, all Turkish citizens must be granted visa-free travel to EU nations, or else the migration deal is over!
The German government must also declare that it does not believe the killings of Armenians was genocide.

Next up they'll start burning books that say otherwise.
Maybe Europe should try and control its own borders? Just a thought.

Man, Erdogan really losing his shit. LOL.
How is he supporting Europe with the crisis, can anyone ELI5?
Turkey is holding a couple of million refugees themselves (they can also just ship them to the EU border or whatever).
Next to that they are trading legal refugees for illegal refugees. So when Europe has an illegal one, they can trade that one with a legal Turkish one.
The problem with Europe is that they have a concentration of wealth but don't want the concentration of people. That means people will be needed to be forced to stay out, an almost impossible task. Also a task that may violate some international treaties. It's easier for them to let other countries do the dirty work for them. Which also makes them dependent though and that is the thing that Turkey is exploiting now.
LebanonWell said.
I would like to also point out one thing here, as awful as Erdogan is and has been, Turkey is currently hosting more than 3 million Syrian refugees. Think about that for a second, no other place in the world is there a figure amount that's remotely close to that.

OMG...Turkey are going fucking crazy over this Armenian Genocide matter!
In retaliation, they now intend on introducing a bill for Turkey to formally recognize Germany's Namibia Genocide....

Europe is extremely densely populated.

Sorry my bad,Lebanon should also be commanded for their efforts, but there is a big difference between 1 million and 3 million.
Point well taken though, the population to refugee ratio for Lebanon is impressive.
Europe isn't. Some very specific cities in Europe are.
Extreme populational density is confined mostly to Asia.
Haha, no.
EU has a joint force right? Put them to use, start patrolling the border.
I bet it would be cheaper than to keep paying Erdogan.

Europe’s torrid relations with Turkey over the migrant crisis were apparently laid bare yesterday after the leaked minutes of a meeting appeared to show Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, openly mocking senior European leaders.
The stormy meeting on October 5 last year came as European leaders, led by Jean-claude Juncker, the European Commission president, tried to strike a 3bn euro deal with Turkey to stem the flow of migrants crossing into Europe.
In extraordinary exchanges, Mr Erdogan appears to taunt Mr Juncker, saying that Turkey does not want the European Union’s money and flatly rejecting the offer of 3bn euros over two years.
“Erdogan said that Turkey didn’t need the EU’s money anyway, ‘We can open the doors to Greece and Bulgaria any time and we can put the refugees on buses’”, threatened Mr Erdogan according to the minutes published by the Greek website Euro2day.
Turkey is part of Europe too
Time to stop dealing with this asshole.
This is Greece and the other neighbouring countries time to shine.
Need to move the immigrants for processing and then equal divide them in Europe. Pouring lots of resources and money into Greece.
