He, the Egyptian billionaire, has not " done it" as he was unable to meet the demands of the so called refugees.

Ten demands were made, 9 were rejected, amongst the 9 rejected demands included were:
Free Housing- Unemployment benefits- child benefits-Free medical care- Free education in Arabic- and many other "freebies".

The only demand accepted, and not by the Egyptian billionaire but Saudi Arabia, was a Mosque and an abundance of Madrassas, so that the refugees would not forget their wonderful culture that rendered them " refugees ".

The deal has been done with Turkey. Apart from more money, the sweetener appears to be visa-free travel for Turkish citizens in the EU.

I want to write an email to Merkel and ask her if as a Cypriot and citizen of the E.U I can enjoy visa-free travel in Turkey.

I believe that Cypriot citizens can enter Turkey without having previously obtained a visa. This was discussed on this forum years ago, if I recall correctly.

The Republic of Cyprus is internationally recognised, unlike the stolen swathe of Cypriot land Turkey currently occupies. Cyprus is also part of the E.U.
