Oct. 16 () –
The Greek Ministry of Citizen Protection has reported that the Border Guard rescued 92 completely naked migrants on the banks of the Evros River this Friday, after which it has accused Turkey of making “inhuman instrumentalization” of these people.
“Turkey continues to openly use immigrants as a tool to violate human rights, to violate international law,” he said, according to the Greek newspaper ‘Kathimerini’.
The immigrants told the Greek police that they had been transported to the Evros river in three vehicles by the Turkish authorities, and then crossed to the Greek shore in plastic boats.
The Minister of Citizen Protection, Takis Theodorikakos, denounced this Friday the behavior of Turkey in the Council of Ministers of the Interior and Public Order that took place in Luxembourg, where he also told the European Commissioner of the matter, his daily challenges.
Athens wants to almost completely cover the border at Evros due to the growing number of illegal border crossings from Turkey, which is why it has added 80 kilometers of border fencing along the river to the existing 35, says the dpa agency.
