Greek border guards and Frontex officers on Saturday morning located no less than 92 third country nationals, all men, stripped naked and reportedly forced to cross the Evros River into Greek territory by Turkish police aboard three inflatable craft.
Refugee and migration flows to Greece dropped 74 pct in the first ten months of 2020, compared to flows registered in the same period in 2019, says a report released on Thursday by Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency.
The borders are being reinforced. With 400 police officers in the first phase being sent to Evros, and a total of 1,060 more personnel in a second phase in Evros and the islands, Greek borders are being strengthened in the wake of Turkish threats to relocate migrants from the Turkish side of Evros, as well as information and images of migrants accumulating on Turkish shores.
