German Chancellor Angela Merkel will join several top EU officials in a visit to Turkey today while the recent Turkey-EU deal struck to stem migration flows continues to function. Merkel, along with European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans, will visit a refugee camp in the southern province of Gaziantep near the Syrian border, which is home to many Syrians who have fled the conflict in their war-torn country. In a statement on Friday, German Federal Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said that the main focus of the visit will be the funding of projects for refugees in Turkey, indicating that the three officials also plan to launch a project especially designed for refugee families and their children.
