  • Ninety-two migrants were found almost naked and bruised after allegedly being forced across the Evros river from Turkey into Greece, Athens said Sunday (16 October).
  • Greek minister for civil protection, Takis Theodorikakos, accused Turkey of “instrumentalising illegal immigration” in the latest of a series of recriminations on migration between the neighbours.
  • Athens regularly faces — and denies – accusations from NGOs and media as having on many occasions sought to push migrants back to Turkey illegally, sometimes using force.
