Thousands of people fleeing Syria are on the border between Turkey and Greece, where is feared a new migration emergency. Turkey has announced that it will no longer prevent the flow of asylum seekers to Europe, so Ankara will not stop migrants trying to reach Europe and Athens, on the other hand, continues to reject them.
According to the UN, along the 120 kilometers of land border between Greece and Turkey there are about 13 thousand people while the Turkish interior minister said that 120 thousand people would be blocked even if this figure is ten times higher than that reported by the Athens authorities and international NGOs.
Photojournalist Piero Castellano, who lived in Turkey for several years, recalled the terms of the agreement on migrants between the Turkish government and Europe and why, since it was ratified in 2016, "it was easy to predict that it would not be lasted."
