Greece ‘stopped 25,000 asylum seekers in August’

Takis Theodorikakos, Greece’s minister for public order, mentioned this week that his nation had prevented some 25,000 asylum seekers over the month of August coming into from Turkey. “Through the month of August alone to this point, 25,000 irregular migrants have tried to illegally enter by the Greek-Turkish borders,” he instructed Antenna TV. Greek authorities have been repeatedly accused of unlawful pushbacks of asylum seekers and refugees.
