Christian Berger, the EU's ambassador to Turkey, has said the bloc contracted out all €3 billion of payments for humanitarian aid to refugees in Turkey agreed under a deal that involved Turkey from stopping them going to Greece. "By the end of this year, 1,500 people have been returned from Greek islands to Turkey," he said. He told press in Ankara Wednesday the last contract had been signed Tuesday.
