FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Greece accused of illegal pushback of refugees at sea” – below is their description.
In recent months, #Greece has been accused of pushing back #migrants in the Aegean Sea – an illegal practice meaning people who are trying to land on its islands are pushed back into Turkish territorial waters. #Athens has rejected the accusations, denouncing a “campaign of denigration orchestrated by Ankara”. In a deal with the European Union, Turkey has agreed to take in the migrants, but regularly communicates on Greece’s alleged push-back practices. A team of FRANCE 24 journalists reports alongside the Turkish coast guard.
