Greece and Turkey have accused each other of brutality and inhumane treatment of migrants attempting to cross the EU border.
Greek Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi announced the detention of 92 migrants at the Turkish border, who were stripped in Turkey and forced to sail on boats to Greece. In confirmation of this statement, the official on Sunday, October 16, published on Twitter corresponding image.
“Turkey’s behavior towards the 92 migrants we rescued at the border is a disgrace to civilization. We expect Ankara to investigate the incident and finally secure its borders with the EU,” the minister wrote.

According to the migrants, according to the Associated Press, Turkish authorities took them to the border. They were then forced to strip, board boats and cross the Evros River, which is the border between Turkey and Greece.
In Turkey, this case was called “fake news”. Turkish presidential spokesman Fahrettin Altun said it was organized by the Greek side.
“Greece has once again shown the world that it does not respect the dignity of refugees by posting pictures of these oppressed people it has deported,” he said.
On the eve it was reported that more than a hundred migrants who were at sea were rescued in Turkey.
Before that, a boat with migrants sank in the Aegean Sea. About 80 people were on board – refugees from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq. Most of them are considered missing.
