Fake news on the internet push immigrants to the Greek-Turkish border

Turkey, from the first moment of the crisis in Afghanistan, plays in a double… “board”, making openings to the Taliban, but also “bargains” with Europe for a possible new wave of refugees. At this not at all accidental time, they are moving to Turkey rumors on the increase of refugee flows to the Greek-Turkish border.

According to the SKAI bulletin, hundreds of Afghans have been moving from Istanbul to Edirne since yesterday until today, on the border with Greece near Kastanies.

This happened because messages are circulating on social networks stating that Greece will open the border for Afghans from August 28 to 31. So some people believed these rumors and took the buses or cars and went to this area.

However, the Turkish military stopped them near the border. They were not allowed to go to point 0 while information states that the necessary measures had been taken by the Greek side and at the moment there is a stagnation.

“I came here as some people told us that Greece opened its borders. “From there I want to go to Europe,” said one of the people who went to the spot.

To the question who says that the borders were opened, they answer: “Many people. The social networks and the internet say .. “They say that the borders will be open from the 28th of August until the 31st. We will wait here until the 31st”.

“We read on the internet that from 28 to 31 Greece will open its borders to Afghans. But here we came, the borders have not been opened. “So many Afghans have come here and we are waiting,” said another.
