The rescue operation of migrants on an islet in the Marasia region of Evros was concluded late on Sunday. 

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis went to Evros today, sending a clear message inside and outside the borders that the government is determined to shield the country from illegal immigration.

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.
