KASTANIES, Greece - Greek police fired teargas toward migrants who were gathered on its border with Turkey and demanding entry on Saturday, as a crisis over Syria abruptly moved onto the European Union’s doorstep.
Media were not permitted to approach the Greek side of the border in the early morning, but the area smelled heavily of teargas, a Reuters witness said. However, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that some 18,000 migrants had crossed borders from Turkey into Europe. Speaking in Istanbul, he did not immediately provide evidence for the number, but said it would rise.
“Today is good” said Shir Agha, 30 in broken English. “Before, Erdogan people, police problem,” he said. Their shoes were caked in mud. It had rained heavily the night before, and by early morning, temperatures were close to freezing.
And they say Turks r barbarians:)) w have been hosting 5million syrians for 10 years. And look at so called civilized europeans who always talk about himan rights:))
Lies ,lies ,lies!!!!Shame on you!!!!!
Absolutely selfish. Where are the refugees supposed to go then? If the tables were tuned how would they feel? Disgusting, selfish humans.
Barbarian Greece is targeting the elderly, women and children.

illegal migrants who want under Erdogans orders to illegally enter Greece attack our guards with teargas that turkey provided them ... you should search better..

Migrants? They are refugees, not migrants. A journalist can't understand such simple things?

The EU is all about open borders. Open up, here they come!
'Inasmuch as ye have done this unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'--Jesus
Where are the refugees welcome people?
carolinehills2 Good move , stop jihadis to be in Peace , Turkey & Pakistan epicentre of Islamic Jihad
And may be they are not the Greek police who is firing teargas on 'migrants', after all. Or they are simply defending themselves... There are people in Reuters who know Turkish, right? Read the teargas canisters.
Wow 🤩...💋🙏👋💔❤️🇺🇸🦋🇺🇸🇲🇽😭😡👩❤️👩👨👩👧👧...
İt's your cut from syria war you ignored.
Now time to see Europe's humanist attitude they always talk about. 😒
What a cruel joke to play on people by saying the border was open. And many of the people busses to the border are Afghans & not even Syrian.
Look at all these scientists and doctors 🙃

Protecting your borders is racist. Locking your doors at home is racist. Bank account security code... racist.
Turkey trying to use refugees as a weapon. Not this time
Not migrants but SYRIAN REFUGEES
4 milyon bizde 100 bin kişye bile tahammül edemiyor medeniyet beşiği denilen insanlığın bittiği AB
I’m no expert, but this seems like more of a war than an immigration system But I grew up in simpler times
The Barbarian Greeks. Embrace them and love them.
bye bye
Well done!!
Something has to be done for Syria peace!!!
On illegal immigrants unleashed by Turkey as a weapon against Greece and Europe...
wakeup
Civilised Europe!!!
Be prepared to live in buses, subways, trams, school at the same time as my child, with refugees neighboring your home
Barbarian europeans
Que triste el mundo
This is exactly the European civilization.
Human rights EU, HUMAN RIGHTS! Why you guys don't accept? Don't you guys uphold the human rights? What a hypocrite you are ?
When everything is fine, Greece talks about democracy, and human rights, etc. When things go wrong, they fire teargas to poor migrants and babies.
Casumptious This is what invasions look like in the modern world.
Europe EU Çocuğun oldu suria
So called EU human rights
That’s what’s erdogan needs
Globalisation - If you cant travel the world, then the world will travel to you.
Build a wall ....
If this invasion succesds the EU will fall. Governments should use all necessary force to prevent that.
Everyone were talking about HUMAN RİGHTS? So what about right now? :)
Turkish police are fine with that.
I thought the police in the western countries were kinder than in Hong Kong. 。
We see europe's humanity. Good luck with migrants :)
where are human rights ... first, everyone should wonder why they left their country ... i think you should do research first without writing anything if there was good will, Greece would first help the injured children and women there
Let the migrants turn and head towards Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia! The Islamic world is large and rich enough to take care of its Muslim brothers!
The EU countries cannot accept all those migrants from all over the world. Politicians should do more to resolve conflicts. Greece, protect your borders !
I understand why the racial friction goes pretty bad if they have different people there in Europe. Multi-nationality is great but sometimes causes racial trouble issues if they don’t understand others’ cultural and ethnic backgrounds...
Absolutely correct reaction of the Greek police! Attacks of migrants to the state borders of a sovereign state must come such a reaction! Respect the Greek police and soldiers!
Hriks, Macedonia belongs to Macedonians!
Good. Stop attacking your countrymen for resisting migrant camps.
Refugees have the right under international laws to enter any country. Greece bombs refugees, babies, children, and the world is only watching. Shame on humanity, shame on muslims like Saudi Arabia & BAE,.. which are wealthy countries. Except Turkey, no countries help refugees.
Everywhere Muslims are torturing.
Greece 🇬🇷 will not suffer the consequences of the war between Turkey and Syria !
EU the champions of human rights will take care of them everybody knows.. They are angels... Enjoy it..
Good
Greece 🇬🇷 will not suffer the consequences of the war between Turkey and Syria ! So go to hell Turks !
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🔫
Greece stopped the attempt of 3000 illegal migrants to cross the boarder after Erdogan is using them to blackmail Europe. The turkish military does not allow them to return .
Tear gas won't stop them, they should send the army
'humanist' europe lmao. bullshit
Respect human rights... What happened to holy EUROPEAN VALUES?
News just in from Stavros..
Hriks, allow them to cross otherwise you are fascists
The crime of humanity is committed.
Greece has the right to refuse the entry of people who don't meet the criteria for admission into the state.
Greek police fire teargas on BABY migrants at border with Turkey
Yolu bilmeyen Suriyeli mülteciler için yayınlıyoruz. Yolunuz bahtınız açık olsun
Where is human rights? Shamefull Greece and EU
You can't enter a sovereign country without visa.
One sided reporting I guess?
