A common place in migration seems to have been found between Ankara and Athens.

According to the report of the SKAI envoy, Yannis Kantelis, there is an agreement on immigration in the works. It is estimated that the agreement will progress very quickly in the coming months and we may see it signed during the Supreme Council of the two countries on December 7 in Thessaloniki.

It is noted that its details have not yet been made known, however, according to information, it will concern the actions of traffickers and their restrictions, as we recall that Mr. Mitsotakis had told Mr. Erdogan that boats should not enter the sea because this is what costs many lives in the Aegean.

It is recalled that during yesterday’s speech at the 78th UN General Assembly in New York, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made extensive reference to immigration, pointing out the need for more coordinated cooperation of the international community to deal with illegal immigration. He emphasized that Greece is at the center of the migration crisis worldwide and underlined the need for both bilateral and multilateral synergies, in order to crack down on traffickers’ rings, but also to create legal migration paths.

Mitsotakis: Our Coast Guard has made enormous efforts to save tens of thousands of lives

“Over the last decade, Greece has provided shelter and protection to hundreds of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers. Our coast guard has made enormous efforts to save tens of thousands of lives at sea. I will be clear: Greece will always be an open and welcoming country for those fleeing persecution and violence, as well as economic migrants seeking a new future through legal channels,” the Greek Prime Minister made clear.
