Turkey and Greece have vowed close cooperation on a plan to send back migrants rejected by Europe, laying aside historic differences in an agreement they hope will end the illegal flow of refugees across the Aegean sea.
The Turkish and Greek leaders were meeting a day after Turkey offered the E-U to take back all migrants who cross into Europe from Turkish soil in return for agreement in principle on its demands for more money, faster EU membership talks and quicker visa-free travel.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says the two countries shared a common perspective on the need to share burden of the migrant crisis.
The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has closed its border completely to migrants and refugees after Slovenia and Serbia announced tight new restrictions on migrant entry.
Thousands of people have built up on the Greek side of the Macedonian border.
Macedonia had been allowing small numbers of Syrians and Iraqis through but is stopping that after its neighbours tightened their policies.
