Amid continuing tensions at the Greek-Turkish land border over a fresh migration crisis, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, saying that he did not want to meet with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and telling German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the migration deal between Turkey and the European Union needs to be revised.


Erdogan reiterated accusations of Greek border guards ostensibly shooting migrants at the border and also accused the Greek coast guard of “sinking boats.”   

The Greek government has repeatedly rebuffed claims by Erdogan and other Turkish officials as fake news aimed at furthering Turkey’s propaganda.
