Joint Aegean Greek-Turkish patrols ruled out

Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias, on Thursday speaking to Alpha radio station, ruled out the possibility of joint Greek-Turkish patrols in the Aegean to confront the refugee issue.

"That would mean Turkish ships entering our territorial waters something that would have long-term consequences," he added.

Addressing the European Parliament on Wednesday, the president of the European Committee Jean-Claude Juncker proposed the cooperation between Greece and Turkey under the EU auspices to control the gateway to Europe.
