Meeting on migration issue at the Shipping Ministry
Shipping and Island Policy Minister Thodoris Dritsas meets with the chief of the Greek Coast Guard Athanassios Athanassopoulos to discuss among others measures to face the increasing migration flows to the eastern Aegean islands.
The representatives of the Coast Guard will also ask for further assistance in services on a number of islands that receive large number of migrants.
"The problem took greater dimensions after the construction of a 12.5 klm fence along Evros river at the Greek-Turkish borders," Greek Coast Guard officials said to ANA-MPA.
