Greek border police use tear gas and water cannon on migrants and refugees trying to enter Greece from Turkey
Refugees and migrants move away from the camp of Moria in the island of Levbos after a fire broke out, on March 16, 2020.
Tens of thousands of people headed to the frontier despite Greece’s insistence that its eastern border, which is also the EU’s external border, was shut. The European Union and world public opinion do not understand the situation of Turkey, which already hosts more than 4 million refugees, President Erdogan said.
We view outside criticism of our refugee policy with a sense of incredulity! Those who fight over what to do with a few thousand refugees dare criticize a country with 3.7 million refugees for saying “enough is enough.” The rampant hypocrisy is disingenuous and shameful!Turkey has in recent years topped the UN list of countries hosting refugees with close to four million refugees — most of them Syrians.
The violence on the border came hours after Erdogan held a four-way video conference with the leaders of France, Germany and Britain to discuss the migrants crisis. Greek forces have also been accused of beating and stripping refugees and migrants of their belongings if they made it across the border.
