48879 - Turkey as a trafficker
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias
Turkey itself functions as a trafficker, because she does not know what else to do to overcome her problems.
Therefore, she decided to in actual fact result to an asymmetric threat against Greece.
In fact she copied the methods she used in Imbros with the open prisons.
Because the illegal immigrants Turkey let cross her borders are the ones who were imprisoned for offenses.
She is taking advantage of the situation in order to form new pressures against Europe.
However Greece is not prepared to suffer this asymmetric threat and she will activate all of the resources at her disposal in order to confront the entire issue.
The measures Greece will take were decided at the level of KYSEA (Government Council for Foreign Affairs and Defence)
Consequently, she will activate the RABIT team through FRONTEX, she will suspend asylum applications for a month, she will upgrade the security of her eastern terrestrial and sea borders, and will promulgate her decision to the Council of Foreign Ministers of the European Union.
