Greek riot police and troops used water cannon and tear gas today (March 4, 2020) against hundreds of migrants as they made another attempt to cross the border from Turkey to Greece, according to the Reuters website.

Greek soldiers also fired warning shots into the air.

A Greek army vehicle equipped with loudspeakers informed the migrants in Arabic and other languages that the border was shut.

Greece and the EU (European Union) accuse Turkey of goading on the migrants in an effort to blackmail the EU into offering more money or supporting Ankara's geopolitical aims in its conflict with Syria.
