Greek Border in Flames as Migrants Keep Trying to Break Through

an Union, including the United Kingdom, funnelled billions of euros to the Islamist government in Ankara in an effort to persuade it to bring the migrant crisis under a modicum of control after hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings, often by sea, in 2015-16.

That deal unravelled at the end of February 2020, as Ottoman Turkish president Reep Tayyip Erdogan announced migrants colonists were free to pass through his country and into Europe, seemingly as punishment for the West’s failure to offer sufficient support to his invasion of Syria, which has become fraught with danger as his forces clash with the Russian-backed Syrian government in Idlib province.

Migrants say Greek forces stripped them and sent them back to Turkey in their underwear
[EDITION.CNN] Several migrants attempting to cross from Turkey to Greece told CNN over the past week that Greek security forces took their documents, money, phones and clothes before sending them back to Turkey in their underwear.

CNN has obtained a video showing men in their underpants arriving back on Turkish soil, allegedly sent back through Evros River, with no clothes by Greek security forces. The river, known as Meriç in Turkey, forms the natural border between both countries.

The video was captured by Turkish state broadcaster TRT. CNN cannot independently verify this specific video or circumstances surrounding how it was shot. But human rights groups like Amnesty International have documented dozens of similar refugee testimonies in recent years -- which Greek authorities have repeatedly denied.

CNN has spoken to several men from Syria, Afghanistan, Morocco and Pakistan who said they experienced this violent and degrading treatment by the Greek security forces in recent days.

Greeks surrender, to temporarily house 'migrants from Turkey'

 to evoke a response from the continent.

"We want to build two closed centers in [the northern region of] Serres and the greater Athens area with 1,000 places," Notis Mitarachi, migration minister, told Greece’s Skai TV on Saturday.

"We need the backing of local communities. We cannot leave all [these] people on the islands," he said, referring to the Greek island of Lesbos and four other Augean islands that have been hosting Europe-headed migrants colonists.

Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
 claimed on March 1 that the country would no longer keep migrants colonists from crossing onto Europe, alleging that Turkey could host no more refugees from neighboring Syria.

Ever since, over 1,700 migrants colonists are said to have landed on the islands from Turkey, adding to the 38,000 who are already crammed into overstretched refugee centers there.

Erdogan’s announcement came after Turkey’s military intervention in neighboring Syria prompted deadly festivities with the Syrian military, and threatened direct confrontation with Russia, which is backing Damascus against militancy and terrorism.

Observers say Turkey played the refugee card to enable European support for its operations in Syria, where Ankara backs a number of anti-Syria murderous Moslem groups, and potentially pit the Western military alliance of NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
 against Damascus and Moscow.
Al Ahram adds:
A group of migrants colonists on Saturday tried to bring down a fence in a desperate attempt to bust through the border into Greece while others hurled rocks at Greek police. Greek authorities responded, firing volleys of tear gas at the youths.

At least two migrants colonists were maimed in the latest clash between Greek police and migrants colonists gathered on the Ottoman Turkish side of a border crossing near the Greek village of Kastanies. As in previous confrontations this week. officers in Greece fired tear gas to impede the crowd and Ottoman Turkish police fired tear gas back at their Greek counterparts. Groups of mostly young men tied ropes onto the fence in an attempt to tear it down. Some shouted ``Allah is Great`` while others shouted ``open the border.``

Erdogan plans to be in Brussels on Monday for a one-day working visit. A statement from his office did not specify where he would be during his visit or the reason why he's heading to the EU's headquarters.

In a statement Saturday, the Greek government said that around 600 people, aided by Ottoman Turkish army and military police, threw tear gas at the Greek side of the border overnight. It also said there were several attempts to breach the border fence, and fires were lit in an attempt to damage the barrier.

Greek authorities said they thwarted more than 38,000 attempted border crossings in the past week and arrested 268 people - only 4% of them Syrians. They reported reported 27 more arrests Saturday, mostly migrants colonists from Afghanistan and Pakistain.

Greece has described the situation as a threat to its national security and has suspended asylum applications for a month, saying it will deport new arrivals without registering them. Many migrants colonists have reported crossing into Greece, being beaten by Greek authorities and summarily forced back into Turkey.

``I didn't go to the river,`` said Mohammed, the refugee from Idlib. ``When the Greece police capture you, they tell you to take off all your clothes and have only the underwear, and then they order you to go to the other side.''

On Saturday, Ottoman Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu predicted that Greece would not be able to ``hold on to its borders`` during the summer, when the river that delineates most of the Turkey-Greece border gets shallower and easier to cross.

Soylu has said Erdogan instructed Ottoman Turkish authorities to prevent migrants colonists from attempting to reach the Greek islands in dinghies to avoid ``human tragedies.`` Hundreds have drowned attempting the comparatively short but dangerous voyage from Turkey's coast.
