May 2020. Greek authorities have fired tear gas and staged military exercises using live ammunition along the country’s eastern borders in an effort to prevent thousands of migrants including young children crossing from Turkey, deepening a stand-off between Brussels and Ankara. The tensions arose after more than 10,000 people gathered outside a northern Greek border post without shelter, reviving fears of a repeat of the refugee crisis that rocked the EU in 2015. Greece has warned it would do “whatever it takes” to protect its borders against migrants after Turkey decided to open its side of the border, breaking an agreement with the EU that Ankara would hold back refugees from war-torn Syria in exchange for funds. Turkey opened the gates to Europe last week after the death of 34 Turkish soldiers in the Syrian province of Idlib. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s leader, has repeatedly called for international help to stave off a Syrian regime offensive in the rebel-held enclave that has forced an estimated One Million people to flee towards the Turkish border for safety. The Channel 4 footage questions the possibility of a Greek Guard killing a Migrant; the Greeks are Defending their Borders. The attempted Invasion of Europe has to be Stopped.
