EU leaders agree that a common approach between Turkey and Europe is needed in order to solve the refugee crisis, according to a spokesperson of the European Commission.Margaritis Schinas told a news conference in Brussels on Thursday that European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann held a 45-minute conference call on Wednesday, ahead of Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to Brussels on Monday."In regards to Turkey, the three leaders agreed a common approach was needed to help the country [Turkey] in dealing with [refugee] crisis," Schinas said.Erdoğan will be in Brussels on October 4-6; he is expected to meet with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk. Schinas said the EU will discuss with Turkey on what kind of an agreement is needed -- "on a single solidarity and mutual confidence framework" -- to arrive at a solution.EU leaders failed to agree during a summit held last month on how to distribute thousands of refugees across the 28-nation-bloc. Turkey has been singled out as a key country to help solve the crisis, as it is a main source of Syrians trying to reach Europe."Turkey played a crucial role in the [European] Council's conclusions because [the] country is highly affected by the refugee crisis and the events in Syria," Schinas said. "We've done a lot of work to ensure Turkey gets all the support including financial support that it needs to handle the situation," he added.
