Greece Releases Footage of Turkish Coastguard Escorting Migrant Boats Towards Greek Islands

Breitbart:

Greece has released footage which they claim shows Turkish coastguard vessels escorting illegal migrant boats as they make their way toward Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.

The footage includes video from two separate incidents that took place in the last few days off the Greek island of Lesbos, and show Turkish vessels close by illegal migrant boats as they sail toward Greece’s territorial waters.

According to a report in Greek newspaper Proto Thema, the Greek coastguard has recently deployed technology that allows it to locate and track migrant boats as they leave the Turkish coast and inform Turkish authorities of any incidents that occur in their territorial waters.

On Thursday, a boat containing 32 migrants, mostly Africans and Afghani nationals, arrived on Lesbos during the afternoon. The boat was the first to arrive on the island this month, while arrivals to other islands have stopped since March — likely due to Chinese coronavirus restrictions in Turkey.

All 32 migrants who arrived this week will also undergo medical tests for the Wuhan virus and will be quarantined at the Megala Therma camp on the north of the island. read more

  1. Well. I guess I can’t ever go back to see my relatives in Greece, again.
    And last year I found out I’m also Italian, but I can’t go to San Marino, Italy either. Because, muslims.

    Thanks, assholes. Both the Euros and the muslims.

  2. Soooooo………if the Turks are escorting the invasion boats, would that be considered a hostile action? Even with no declared war? Justified with shooting, hulling, and sinking both the Turkish escort AND the invasion boats?
    Inquiring minds…………

  3. A Russian diplomat (forgot who) said,” give them a hot shower, some food, them put them on a nice boat and send them straight back to where they came from and the refugee crisis will stop.”

    The thought of paying smugglers $30,000 plus to end up right back where you started will take care of itself within a few weeks.
