Government spokesman Stelios Petsas cited the government's use of a floating dam, saying it aims to prevent immigrants from approaching the Greek islands off Turkey's nearby coast.

Thousands of Greeks have descend from every part of their islands in Chios and Lesvos to demonstrate against the uncontrolled flows of primarily illegal immigrants arriving from Turkey.

Eleven migrants who were turned down for asylum were returned to Turkey from Mytilini on Lesvos on Friday, Migration and Asylum Minister Notis Mitarachi announced on social media.
