Erdogan expected in Brussels on Monday

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to be in Brussels on Monday for a one-day working visit, his office said amid a charged conflict between Turkey and the European Union over migrants and refugees, according to AP. 

The president’s planned visit comes amid heightened tensions between Ankara and Brussels following Turkey’s decision last week to open its border to Greece, prompting violent clashes between migrants and security forces in the region.

POLITICO quotes a  spokesperson for European Council President Charles Michel, whom Erdogan is expected to meet in Brussels, said he could not yet confirm the meeting would take place.
