    he has been dead for centuries so that is unlikely but I suppose he could be related to Jesus but just a heavy sleeper.

    Yes it was so fanciful the EU introduced legislation to return migrants to Turkey (after the Brexit vote) and

    On 18 March 2016, the European Council and Turkey reached an agreement aimed at stopping the flow of irregular migration via Turkey to Europe.

    The Turkish application is still open, its stalled because even France & Germany don't like Erdogan they may sell him a few weapons though.
