Erdoğan & the refugee crisis: Who's the boss

In her latest visit to Turkey, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, tried to cajole President Tayyip Erdogan into stemming the refugee flow entering the EU as tentatively agreed upon back in October.

For a solipsistic megalomaniac leader like Erdogan, milking the situation to its last drop of is too hard to resist.
