Athens: Greece has a “secret site” on the border with Turkey to incarcerate and expel migrants arriving in a surge facilitated by Ankara, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The Greek government denied the Times report, saying all frontier security was carried out according to the law. Thousands of migrants have arrived at the Greek frontier since President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on February 28 that Turkey would no longer stop them from trying to enter Europe.
“The extrajudicial centre is one of several tactics Greece is using to prevent a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis,” the online Times report said.
The Greek government dismissed the Times report, with the state spokesman insisting “there is nothing hidden. There is no secret detention camp in Greece.” (AFP)
