The meeting is held with the sole purpose of guarding the border in Evros
Emergency CYSEA will take place today at 16.30, under his chairmanship Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as announced by Megaro Maximos. The meeting is held with the sole purpose of guarding the border in Evros, after Turkey’s latest moves that show a resurgence of “mobility” at the country’s land borders with the exploitation of the islets in the river. Given that the fence, which extends 80 km, is a key deterrent, Turkey is looking for ways to overcome this obstacle.
As reported by Minister of Immigration and Asylum Notis Mitarakis, the Turkish authorities bring the migrants to the banks of the Evros and, with the threat of violence, force them to come to the islets of the river, so that Greece, under pressure, will put them on its territory. It is essentially a “hybrid war”, with Greece ready to take all protective measures so that Ankara’s attempt fails.
According to her information “Daily”, in addition to the extension of the fence, strengthening of the electronic monitoring measures is also planned, which will be decided by the KYSEA. However, the central point of view that exists in the government is the one formulated by Takis Theodorikakos – speaking to SKAI -, who noted that “we will not make the Greek Police a boatman for illegal immigrants”, stressing that the islet in Evros on which where the immigrants were located does not belong to the Greek territory. In any case, the government is determined to “roll down” the land border and not allow Turkey to play with immigration a second time.
Finally, it is noted that ten Turkish aircraft, of which five were armed, carried out dozens of violations in the Aegean yesterday.
