The United Nations has called on Greece to enact "much more leadership," concerning its migrant situation.

497 undocumented migrants, mostly Syrian nationals, reached several beaches of Lesvos island in the last four days.

The problem of illegal migration is a major one and the country cannot bear such large inflows, Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said on Tuesday adding that this is not an issue of "Greece but of Europe, which would have to put pressure on Turkey to apply Dublin II.”
