EU-Turkey summit to be held on Nov.29

BRUSSELS

European Council President Donald Tusk has summoned EU leaders and Turkey to gather in Brussels in an attempt to solve the refugee crisis.

''I call EU-Turkey summit on Sunday 29 November at 16h. Purpose: Re-energize our relations & stem migration flow,'' Tusk tweeted late Monday.

Tusk said he decided to call the summit following a phone conversation with Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Monday.

EU and Turkey are in the process of negotiating a refugee action plan, under which the bloc has offered Ankara funding in exchange for stemming the flow of refugees trying to enter the Europe.
