President Zeman: Turkey should not be part of EU

Turkey should not be a part of the European Union, the Czech President Miloš Zeman said at the end of his three-day visit to north Bohemia on Wednesday, adding that despite its membership in NATO, Turkey sometimes behaves as Islamic State’s ally. The Czech head of state also criticised EU’S plan to pay three billion euros to Turkey in exchange for help holding back asylum seekers trying to make their way to Europe. He also repeatedly warned of the risks posed by the Muslim immigration to Europe.
