Turkey is shutting down one post each in its land borders with Greece and Bulgaria as of midnight Wednesday, according to a circular by the Turkish Interior Ministry.

Turkey, which unleashed massive stimulus to recover from a 2018 currency crisis, is poised to stretch its central bank and public finances even more to defend the economy and tourism sector from the global coronavirus pandemic.

Greek Foreign Ministry spokesperson Alexandros Yenninnatas on Sunday said that  "The country that for the first time in history used migrants as a battering ram against other countries, is not entitled to invoke justice and human rights. After all, Turkey's performance in these areas is well known. What is more, its choice to -repeatedly- disrespect the victims of the Holocaust, is absolutely unacceptable" he said responding to a journalist's question on a Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson statement on Saturday.
