Will the deal between the EU and Turkey work?

The EU-Turkey deal to tackle the large amount of migrants coming to Europe formally came into effect in late March. Following the implementation of this deal, in which Germany played an important role, panellists on World Questions consider whether it will work and whether it was the right deal to make. You will hear, in order, Aydan Γ–zoguz, Cabinet Member and Federal Commissioner for Immigration, Refugees and Integration, Philipp Lengsfeld , MbD and member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, and Christian Schmidt, leader of the Alliance for Progress and Renewal (ALFA) party in Berlin.
