Turkey — whose membership application to the European Union is supported by the three-in-one Labour/Tory/Lib-Dem party, is actively interfering with EU anti-immigration patrols.

The Greek government said on Friday that Turkey had interfered with European Union immigration patrols by sending radar warnings to aircraft monitoring the bloc’s south-eastern sea borders.

“We have repeated cases of Turkish radar interference with aircraft patrolling the European Union’s borders in the Aegean Sea,” Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou told reporters during an EU summit in Brussels.

“This practice always creates the impression that Turkey is trying to hamper our common action to combat illegal immigration,” he said.

The British National Party has warned repeatedly that Turkey’s ascension to EU membership would open mass Third World immigration floodgates of millions of Muslims to Europe and would utterly overwhelm the Continent.

Despite this, the Tories, Labour and Liberal-Democrats have all supported the further expansion of the EU to include Turkey.

Thousands of invaders and bogus asylum seekers from Third World hellholes in Africa, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent land on Greek shores every year after sailing from the neighbouring Turkish coast.

Greece says Turkey is refusing to honour a migrant re-admittance protocol signed a decade ago and lately began accusing Ankara of harassing aircraft belonging to EU border agency Frontex.

Earlier this month, Athens said a Swedish aircraft flying over two Greek islands was repeatedly warned by Turkish radar to leave the area because of an alleged violation of Turkish airspace.

Illegal immigration has been a source of tension between Turkey and EU officials in the last couple of years.

The EU alleges that Turkey is not doing enough to tackle illegal immigration coming from the east, claiming the country has failed to fulfil its promises to repatriate illegal immigrants who pass through Turkey and are later detained in EU member-states.

The EU’s top migration official, Jacques Barrot, has accused Turkey of turning a blind eye to the trafficking of illegal migrants to Greece.

Turkey has complained that the EU does not pay enough to help it deport illegal immigrants. In a revealing complaint, the Turkish government said it “only” gets €70 per illegal immigrant, compared to Greece’s €1,000.

At that rate, the EU must be paying out untold millions as a result of the Third World invasion.
