The deal concluded in March 2016 between Turkey and the European Union to manage the refugee movements from Turkey to the Greek islands attracted cri-ticism from various quarters. This thesis examines the legal and political back-grounds of the agreement and advances understanding of why it was so urgent-ly needed.
Based on related legal texts, press reports and interviews conducted with EU officials, I evaluated the agreement itself as well as its implementation until Sep-tember 2016. The findings from the research show that legal and ethical reser-vations are indeed justified. I concluded that the agreement may alleviate symp-toms of the current refugee crisis, yet a real European migration policy was mo-re needed than ever.
