Turkey-Syria conflict bringing Daesh to Europe's doorstep

With Turkey and Syria at war analysts fear that Takfiri militants could take advantage of the chaos to reassert themselves.
Idlib province is the last holdout of al-Qaeda linked forces but there are concerns that Daesh could make a comeback too.
And according to King Abdullah of Jordan Daesh is creeping closer to Europe because of the Idlib crisis -- rising its ugly head in Libya. Ahead of an emergency NATO conference last week he said:
'Several thousand fighters have left Idlib through the northern border and have ended up in Libya. That is something we in the region, but also our friends in Europe will have to address in 2020.'
And the Turkey-Syria conflict is threatening Europe with more than a rejuvenated Daesh.
Europe’s last migrant crisis was stemmed by a 2016 accord between the EU and Ankara. Since then Turkey has played host to 3.7 million refugees but it seems now, Ankara plans to cash in on its deal with the bloc.
Opening its border with Greece Turkey is pressuring the EU into backing what some would call its neo-ottoman expansionist policies in Syria, and forking out more for Turkey to keep migrants off European shores.
