Speaking from the Evros region, at Greece's northern borderline, Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis on Saturday said that "the current government is embracing all those who work hard at the borders to secure our country and will support them," at the Orestiada Police Department's Border Guard, at Cheimonio. 

A serious incident appears to have occurred on Tuesday night (16/07) in the Evros Delta when four Turkish soldiers threatened with their weapons two Greek fishermen who were in the area.

A 22 year old who pretended to be a refugee and a frightened victim, crossing the Evros river border turned out to be a member of the Islamist terrorist organization ISIS, according to thrakinea.gr.
