歐盟與土耳其討論緩解移民危機問題大綱

European Union leaders meet with their Turkish counterparts Monday to discuss efforts to slow the flow of migrants traveling to Europe as thousands of people remained stranded at the Greece-Macedonia border.

EU diplomats said ahead of Monday's emergency meeting in Brussels that a draft EU agreement was set to declare the closure of the Balkan migration route.

Countries from Macedonia on north have shut their borders, preventing people mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq from traveling on toward Germany and Scandinavian nations.

The influx of nearly 1 million people arriving by sea in Greece since the beginning of 2015 has European leaders looking to persuade Turkey to both keep migrants from taking the dangerous route and also take back thousands who don't qualify for EU asylum.

Turkey is hosting more than 2.7 million refugees from Syria alone, and has struggled with the burden of providing services.歐盟領導人星期一會見土耳其領導人，討論如何減緩移民涌入歐洲的勢頭。目前有數以千計的移民仍滯留在希臘和馬其頓邊界地區。

星期一在布魯塞爾召開緊急會議之前，歐盟的外交官們表示，即將宣佈一項關於關閉巴爾幹地區移民通道的歐盟協議草案。

馬其頓以北各國已經關閉了邊界，阻止主要來自敘利亞、阿富汗和伊拉克的移民前往德國和斯堪迪納維亞國家。

2015年年初以來，已有將近100萬人渡海抵達希臘。面對這種局面，歐洲領導人希望說服土耳其阻止移民採用危險通道，同時重新接納被歐盟國家拒絕提供庇護的移民。

土耳其收容大量難民，光是來自敘利亞的就有270多萬人。土耳其因此承受着爲難民提供服務的巨大負擔。
