Notis Mitarakis, the Greek migration minister, has branded allegations of Greek pushbacks "part of the comprehensive fake news strategy" promoted by Turkey -- according to the German news agency dpa. Mitarakis denied that Greece was pushing migrants back to Turkey or preventing them from applying for asylum within Greece. Dpa reported that Mitarakis told the Greek newspaper To Vima that Turkey was pushing these claims through non-governmental organizations and smugglers’ networks. Last week, the NGO Mare Liberum said it had documented "close to 10,000 people" pushed back in 2020 alone in 321 documented incidents. They added that 2020 represented an "unprecedented escalation of human rights violations in the Aegean." read more
