Erdogan's remarks, some of his hardest as of late against the European Union, provoked a quick cautioning from Germany which handled the arrangement that such "dangers" were unhelpful.
The risk came a day after the European Parliament maddened Ankara by sponsorship a stop in EU increase talks, as of now hit by caution over its crackdown in the wake of the July 15 fizzled upset.
"Hear me out. In the event that you go any further, then the boondocks will be opened, remember that," Erdogan told the EU amid a discourse in Istanbul.
He said Brussels had shouted out for help in 2015 as a huge number of transients massed at Turkey's fringe crossing with EU part Bulgaria.

– 'Guarantees unfulfilled' –
On March 18, Ankara and Brussels fashioned an arrangement for Turkey to end the stream of transients to Europe — an agreement that has to a great extent been fruitful in lessening numbers crossing the Aegean Sea amongst Turkey and Greece.
As per the International Organization for Migration (IOM), a little more than 171,000 have crossed to Greece so far this year, much lower than the tantamount figure for 2015 of just about 740,000.
Several vagrants suffocated while attempting to cross the Aegean in 2015 on unseaworthy water crafts, including three-year-old Syrian Aylan Kurdi. The pictures of his inert body appeared on a Turkish shoreline prodded the universal group without hesitation.
Turkey consented to venture up sea and land outskirt controls in return for motivating forces on its since quite a while ago slowed down participation offer, including sans visa go for its nationals and an increasing speed of promotion talks.
However with an October target passing, no evident advance on the visa issue and the increase talks slowed down, Ankara has blamed Brussels for neglecting to keep its side of the deal.
In light of Erdogan's comments, Chancellor Angela Merkel's representative Ulrike Demmer said the arrangement was in the enthusiasm "of all gatherings" and that "dangers on either side are not useful".
EU Commission representative Margaritis Schinas said it would not get included in "explanations about theoretical situations" was still dedicated to executing the assention.
In any case, the European Parliament's rapporteur on Turkey Kati Piri tweeted that "connecting (the) arrangement on relocation with (the) EU increase talks wasn't right from the earliest starting point."
Erdogan said while Turkey itself was caring for three million evacuees — basically 2.7 million Syrians from the common war, additionally Iraqis — yet "you (the EU) did not satisfy your guarantees".
"You never acted respectably," he told the alliance.
He has additionally blamed Brussels for neglecting to satisfy a guarantee to convey somewhere in the range of six billion euros ($6.3 billion) in help for displaced people.
The EU says the cash is to be exchanged slowly for individual tasks and not in a solitary installment.
– 'Not a reality' –
The European Parliament vote reflected spiraling pressures with Ankara after Brussels more than once communicated caution over the size of Turkey's crackdown after the upset. Turkey thusly blamed Brussels for neglecting to show solidarity.
The parliamentary vote is non-authoritative and prior this month, all EU remote clergymen — except for Austria — said they were agreeable to proceeding with the increase talks.
In any case, examiners say the whole enrollment process is in a bad position, with little any desire for advance and a few hazard considers that could prompt to its crumple.
"Sensibly, pushing ahead is additionally about unthinkable… Both Brussels and Ankara stay stuck and are playing for time," Asli Aydintasbas of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) said in an examination paper.
She recommended an option type of engagement amongst Turkey and the EU, other than full enrollment, could be consented to hide any hint of failure face and move advances.
"In actuality, most authorities secretly surrender that full enrollment is not a plausibility now," she said.
Austria's Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz, a hardliner on Turkey, said Europe ought to fortify its own particular outskirts after Erdogan's remarks and "should not give into extortion".
