Greece Seeks EU Help with Refugees and Migrants

 

Greece will ask for help under the EU’s civil protection mechanism, the country’s migration minister told euronews on Wednesday.

Speaking in a telephone interview with euronews correspondent Efi Koutsokosta, Ioannis Mouzalas said the Greek government would request foreign assistance on Thursday.

“Tomorrow we will officially request the triggering of EU mechanism and we hope that the EU will respond in a better way than with other countries in the past,” Mouzalas said.

“The game of blaming Greece for everything has to stop,” he added. “The EU should pay attention to the implementation of the agreement with Turkey and it also has to ask some countries which are closing their borders to get things in order.”
