Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday threatened to allow migrants to cross Turkey's borders after the European Parliament voted to back a freeze in membership talks with Ankara.
"Listen to me. If you go any further, then the frontiers will be opened, bear that in mind," the Turkish president told the EU in a speech in Istanbul.
On 18 March, Ankara and Brussels forged a deal for Turkey to halt the flow of migrants to Europe - an accord that has largely been successful in reducing numbers crossing the Aegean Sea.
