N. Mitarakis: Border protection makes Europe strong against extortionate demands

“The European Union and Greece are opposed to any attempt to ‘instrumentalize’ the immigration crisis, and obviously protecting borders makes Europe strong against extortionate demands. This is Frontex’s mission, this is our country’s sovereign responsibility.” The Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Notis Mitarakis, stated, among other things, regarding the statements of the Minister of Interior of Turkey, Suleyman Soylu, on the refugee-immigration issue and Frontex.

He added: “We are protecting our borders with determination and respect for international law. Of course, Turkey, by implementing the Joint Declaration, should have prevented – as it should – the illegal departures. In this way, it would have prevented the recent ones.” deadly shipwrecks “.

“Every boat that does not start saves lives and helps fight smugglers’ circuits,” concludes Mr. Mitarakis.
