Greek media is reporting mass gathering of 'thousands of refugees' at the Greek-turkish border at Evros.


“There is no confirmation of an organized plan,” said the Alternate Migration Minister Giorgos Koumoutsakos speaking to a Greek media outlet, adding there is a spontaneous mobility which is not unusual and has happened in the past.
The last few days the Greek government has boosted the numbers of border guards, police and military, at the spots along the Evros river at the Greek-Turkish border.
