(Kathimerini) Greece on Wednesday published a video that appears to show officers of the Turkish Coast Guard hitting migrants and pushing their rubber boat away from the former’s vessel.
Migration Minister Notis Mitarakis, who posted the video on his Twitter account, said it shows the officers “violently pushing forward migrants to Greece, in violation of international law and the European Union joint statement.” Mitarakis said the video was filmed by a refugee who was saved by Greece. “It is further proof of the [weaponization] of migration flows by Turkey,” he added.
