The EU has announced about the launch of a program aimed at helping millions of migrants in Turkey.

This initiative, which is assessed at about 350 mln euro, is part of the agreement between Brussels and Ankara, being aimed at suppressing the migrant flow striving for EU.

Currently, there are nearly 3 mln migrants in the territory of Turkey, DW reports.

In the framework of the new EU program, the migrants living outside Turkish camps, will be provided debit cards, which will allow them to buy food and pay for other basic needs. The amount on the cards will be topped up monthly, depending on the needs and size of each specific family.

This aid program is the largest EU humanitarian project. Introducing it, the European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Chrisis Management, Christos Stylianides, noted that the EU thereby demonstrates its support for Turkey.

"We welcome the EU ... support. But we have criticisms concerning the way this support is being transferred to Turkey. For it to be transferred via civil society organizations slows the process down." said Ömer Çelik, the Turkish minister in charge of EU affairs.

He also noted that the country doesn't need that aid. "We don't want this aid for Turkey. We want this aid to provide better health and education services to the oppressed,'' he noted.
