“We are effectively guarding the borders while at the same time demonstrating the required humanitarianism”, emphasized the government representative Yiannis Oikonomou speaking to SKAI. “Unhappy people become pawns of traffickers, with Turkey’s backs most of the time.”

Certain people in Greece, added Yannis Oikonomou, have adopted push backs – even our MEPs. “Our port guards guard our borders, but they also save lives,” he pointed out. The Evros fence will be extended along the entire length of the river, repeated the government representative.
