Turkish regime leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that his government had no intention of stopping the relentless westward flow of migrants toward continental Europe, warning that “millions” would soon be headed toward the EU.
“Since we have opened the borders, the number of refugees heading toward Europe has reached hundreds of thousands. This number will soon be in the millions,” Erdogan said today in Ankara during a televised speech, Greek daily newspaper Kathimerini reports.
“After we opened the doors, there were multiple calls saying ‘close the doors.”
“I told them ‘it’s done. It’s finished. The doors are now open. Now, you will have to take your share of the burden’,” he said.
Late Sunday night, Turkish interior minister Süleyman Soylu said that 100,577 migrants had left Turkey through Erdine, at the border with Greece.
Despite the regime leader and his interior minister’s claims that hundreds of thousands of migrants are already amassed at the Greek border, figures from the International Organization for Migration suggest that these figures are vastly inflated.
According to the IOM, more than 13,000 migrants have now arrived at the Turkish-Greek border.
Earlier today, Voice of Europe reported that the Greek government has announced that it is preparing itself for 150,000 migrant invaders to try and reach its various islands in the Eastern Aegean Sea. Over 1000 migrants have already slipped by Greece’s coastguard and have managed to land on Greek islands in the Eastern Aegean.

Clashes escalate between Greek army and migrants on Turkish border
Over the weekend, Greece’s Deputy Defense Minister Alkiviadis Stefanis announced over that the migrants who’ve gathered at Greece’s border – most of whom are fighting-age men – made around 9,600 unsuccessful attempts to breach the border illegally.
The migrant invaders set fires and attacked Greek security forces, shouting things like: “The dogs can’t see us anymore. Burn them. Allahu Akbar.”

Turkey: Migrants cut through barbed wire at Greek border
“It will be difficult to stop the massive flow of people who have set out on their journey. That is why we can expect an increase in pressure in the coming days — even in the event that Turkish authorities act to prevent people from crossing the border,” an internal Frontex report said.
The situation at the Turkish-Greek border is deteriorating quickly.
In this video from last night, it can clearly be seen that the thousands of migrants trying to storm the Greek border are starting to use a larger number of molotov cocktails.

Only 4 percent of migrants who’ve illegally entered Greece from Turkey are Syrian
As the migrant crisis at the border of Greece deepens, it has become e that the vast majority of the so-called “refugees” that want to cross the border are not Syrians but are individuals from a broad range of nations in the Middle East and Africa.
The regime leader of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, decided to open the border to Europe after claiming that EU wasn’t supporting Turkey’s military action in North-Syria and that Turkey isn’t hasn’t received the aid it needs to continue supporting the Syrian refugees, Proto Thelma reports.
Greece reports that in this ongoing migrant crisis at its southern border, an incredibly small percentage of the migrants are actually Syrian. Most of the so-called “refugees” are young, able-bodied men from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and various African nations like as Morroco, Ethiopia, and Egypt.
Most migrants who’ve been detained in Greece after entering the country illegally are Afghans, according to the Greek government.

According to local authorities, of all the migrants who’ve been detained by the border police, the vast majority come from Afghanistan (64 percent), followed by Pakistanis (19 percent), then Turks (5 percent), then Syrians (4 percent), then finally Iraqis, Iranians, Moroccans, Egyptians, and those from Bangladesh who as a collective group comprised 5.4 percent of those who’ve been arrested by Greek authorities for illegal entry.
There have been claims by Turkey that well over 100,000 migrants have amassed at the Greek-Turkish border, a claim that Greece denies.
Opening of the gates to Europe, for Erdogan, is a way that he can punish Europe for not bending to his will. Following the Turkish invasion of the northern part of Syria and the deaths of Turkish soldiers at the hands of either the Syrians or their Russian allies, Erdogan has called on the EU – its NATO ally – to support its military efforts in conflict.

Turkey is also demanding that the EU gives it more cash to pay for the so-called refugees it’s hosting. The EU has already handed over billions upon billions of euros to Turkey to help them with the so-called refugees.
Greece has responded strongly to the situation.
“Europe is not going to be blackmailed by Turkey,” Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotaki said while adding that Greek government has exercised its rights to protect its sovereignty and its borders, which acts as the border for Europes Schengen Zone.
