Greece Strengthens Border Control Amid Concerns Over Influx from Turkey and Syria
The Guardian reports that Greece is enhancing border control along its land and maritime boundaries with Turkey, amid fears of an influx of people following the earthquakes that devastated southeastern Turkey and northern Syria.
Hundreds of additional border guards have begun patrolling the Greek-Turkish land border in the Evros region over the weekend.
“The relocation of millions of people is not a solution to the issue,” said Greek Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi, emphasizing the need to send urgent assistance to Turkey and Syria.
