EU-Turkey visa deal on brink as Erdoğan refuses to change terror laws

The  recent deal to  handling the migrant crisis  between  the European union Turkey has been
  jeopardized.  The deal  which includes the deportation of migrants from the European Union countries like Germany, Sweden and Greece  to Turkey, in exchange for the European Union granting more visas to Turkey, has been put into serious  jeopardy.  This comes after a dispute where  Turkish President   Erodgan refuses  to change Turkish anti terror laws, which  some analysts considered an abuse of power ,considering the majority of terrorist suspects are journalists  who are critical of Erodgran polices and face server punishments including long term prison sentences. This has causes a rift between Turkey and the European, and has just happen after Turkish President  Erodgan fired former prime minister  Ahmet Davutoglu,  who helped brooked the deal with the European. Some analysts predict that Erodgan  son in law  Berat Albayrak , and energy minister  would replace Ahment Davutoglu, which would further consolidate Erodgrans power in the Turkish parliament.
