I may be wrong...

Isn't it that according to the law, the refugees are allowed to get the shelter in the first country they manage to get to? In this case it's Turkey, right?

Which law? EU law? Afaik Turkey isn't a member of the EU but might like to be depending on who you're talking to.

Afaik this law only applies to EU and Turkey isn't part of it.

Why is Turkey in NATO? At this point Their behavior is nothing but antagonistic at best and downright nefarious at worst.

I believe it's an agreement between EU countries, but I could also be wrong.

The EU is going to throw billions at Erdogan, because they the EU cannot agree on how to deal with refugees. another wave could tear the EU apart.

That's only in the EU/Schengen laws and refugees can pay smugglers to get them to their desired country of choice through EU's porous borders(I drive a lot through Europe and border checks are only along the main highways, side roads are completely unguarded).

Nothing against helping refugees but EU and NATO should reconsider any further cooperation with Turkey.

Nothing against helping refugees but EU and NATO should cancel any further economical and military cooperation with Turkey ASAP until they have a more sane leader in charge.

Even within the EU (and Turkey is not part of the EU, which is the EU's fault, not TUrkey's), this rule has been bent a lot in recent years. Greece and Italy and other countries have been sending refugees north.

Of course, the Mediterranean countries will regret this bad precedent once the hordes of Scandinavian refugees come down from the south, and Germany and France and Benelux expect them to take some of them. Oh, wait...
