Greece’s military and law enforcement services have reportedly taken precautionary measures at the country’s land borders with Turkey, in the extreme northeast, as well as in the eastern Aegean Sea, following Thursday’s threat by Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan to generate yet another “migration crisis”.
Sources said a meeting on Friday was chaired by the chief of the Hellenic national defense general staff, with the participation of the heads of the three military service branches, police and the coast guard.
Among others, units were placed on high alert along the land border, the same status was ordered for vessels in the eastern Aegean.
In March 2020 the Erdogan regime announced that it would not block would-be migrants residing in the country – hailing from North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East to south Asia – from attempting to illegally enter Greece via the Thrace province.
In fact, Turkish authorities called on third country nationals to assembly at the site where Greek-Turkish land border is not dissected by the Evros River and pass into EU territory, with coaches even ferrying the would-be migrants from Istanbul to the border.
The attempt, called by the Mitsotakis government as type of “hybrid warfare”, was ultimately deflected by Greek forces.
