Ankara expects the next wave of migrants returning from Greece to Turkey to start within a “few days” and to consist of around 250 people, Turkish EU Affairs Minister Volkan Bozkir announced on Thursday.
“We will take back everybody, every irregular migrant who has reached the five Greeks island after March 20 and some of them will be non-Syrians,” he noted during a news conference. “In the second wave there will be more Syrians.”
Moreover, The European Commission wants Greece to set up border controls here on its northern border with FYROM with Europe’s border control agency Frontex, to stop the kind of violence that occurred in the border on Wednesday.
