Asylum seekers on move to reach Europe
11:02 March 09, 2020 AA
Asylum seekers hoping to cross into Europe keep waiting for the doors to open in the region between the Greece's Kastanies Border Gate and Turkey's Pazarkule Border Gate on March 09, 2020. Ankara recently announced it would no longer try to stop asylum seekers from reaching Europe. Thousands of asylum seekers have since flocked to Turkey's Edirne province -- which borders Greece and Bulgaria -- to make their way to Europe. The Greek reaction to the asylum seekers has been harsh, with many battered, attacked and tear-gassed, and several killed by Greek forces.
