S. Soilou challenge: ‘Greek Coast Guard threw three migrants into the sea and one drowned’

With a provocative post, the Turkish Minister of Interior launches an attack against Greece, the European Union and Frontex.

In a Twitter post, Soilou said late Monday that the Greek Coast Guard had thrown three migrants into the Aegean Sea, killing one of the victims.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said that after the incident off Cesme, two of the migrants were rescued while the other died.

He added that the European Border and Coast Guard (Frontex) “must also be held accountable”.

Soylu also shared footage of one of the rescued migrants.

It is noteworthy that in the translation of the video, which is in Arabic, a man who is supposed to be one of the survivors says that “the Greek Police took their mobile phones and money”, even though one of his relatives told him that he did not know how to swim, “the Greek Coast Guard threw everything into the sea”.

“The Greek Coast Guard gave us life jackets before they let us into the sea, but they were for children and very young. They could not fit us. My cousin told me he could not swim. But they did not listen. They threw us into the water and drowned there,” the English wrote. translation of the arabic video.

“The news has been reproduced as it is by all the Turkish media without anyone commenting on the fact that the video mentions both the police and the coast guard and Frontex, without mentioning when something like this happened, without any publication of the news in the past as” rescue migrants “, as they used to do.

The incident allegedly took place on the island of Kara ada southeast of Oinousses.

The only information given by the Turkish Coast Guard is a statement that says that it was found that there were illegal immigrants in Kara ada and that a Coast Guard boat was sent to the area to rescue them.

Soylos’s tweet was made last night and the announcement of the Turkish Coast Guard said that the migrants were located today at 11:20.
