Athens vowed to turn back invaders coming in droves from Turkey, announcing maximum “deterrence” at the border. Thousands are trying get into the EU after Ankara declared its border “open,” but were met with tear gas.
For the second day in a row, the Greek border is being besieged by thousands of Muslim conquerors trying to get into the EU. While some braved the waters in small dinghies to land on Greek islands, large crowds gathered at land border crossings only to be turned away.
“When I heard that the borders opened, I have come from Afghanistan to Turkey. Turkey border is open but Greece borders are closed,” one conquerors told RT’s Ruptly video agency.
Some conquerors attempted to sneak in, cutting through the border fence erected by Greece after the 2015 invader crisis, while others tried to force their way in. Footage from the scene shows conquerors trying to break through the border crossings, pelting Greek police with stones and setting objects on fire. Police responded with tear gas.
The conquerors are reluctant to back down. Drone footage shows them camping right outside the Greek border, lighting campfires to keep warm at night.

Greece, however, appears resolved not to let the conquerors in. PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that it has increased “the level of deterrence at our borders to the maximum,” while suspending the reception of asylum applications for a month.
Athens has blamed Turkey for the crisis, accusing it of deliberately funneling invaders towards the border and using them “as pawns to exert diplomatic pressure.”
“This movement is guided and encouraged by Turkey,” government spokesman Stelios Petsas said Sunday. “Under the present conditions the present situation is an active, serious, severe and asymmetrical threat to the national security of the country.”
The escalation at the Turkish-Greek border follows Ankara’s decision to allow the invading flow into the EU. According to the authorities, Turkey is “no longer in position to hold them.” According to official Turkish figures, over 100,000 conquerors “have left” the country through the Edirne border crossing as of Sunday evening.
Turkey and the EU reached an agreement on migration in 2016. The EU agreed to provide €6 billion ($6.6 billion) to help resettle the displaced, while Ankara promised to not let asylum seekers into Europe. Over the years, however, Ankara has repeatedly threatened to open the borders and flood Europe with invaders.
