Death at the border

About this episode

The Turkish President Erdogan suddenly throws open the border with Greece at the end of February. The pressure on Turkey, which would absorb the migrant current, is too large. Support from the EU remains, and therefore Erdogan throws open borders to let the EU experience the pressure. He sets buses to bring migrants to pazarkule, the border crossing between the Turkish Edirne and the Greek chestnuts. With skirmishes on the border between Greece and Turkey, it is getting out of hand. People are injured and there is also a dead person: the Pakistani refugee Mohammed Gulzar. He was hit and died on the spot. Turkey and Greece accuse each other over and over again, deny all allegations and manufacture fake news to make the other black. Greece denies that injuries have fallen and all that someone has been killed, and even puts into embassies to stop every news about the incidents.
