European leaders have agreed to a common position put to the Turkish prime minister, in a bid to clinch a deal to tackle the continent's worst migration crisis since World War II.
The 28 states spent the day haggling over the proposal, under which Turkey would take all migrants from Greece, helping curb an unprecedented influx of 1.2 million people from Syria and elsewhere since 2015. But the deal comes with a heavy price -- including an acceleration of Turkey's long-stalled bid for EU membership, billions of Euros in extra aid, and visa-free travel for Turkish citizens within the EU.
The agreement on the EU position will be presented to the Turkish Prime Minister before the EU Council. European leaders have voiced caution about whether they can finally seal the deal with Turkey.
