	European Council President Donald Tusk said on Twitter:

	 

	"Turkey must understand that our main concern is that their actions may lead to another humanitarian catastrophe. And we will never accept that refugees are weaponised and used to blackmail us. President Erdogan's threats of yesterday are totally out of place."
