The 35-kilometer extension of the border fence between Greece and Turkey at Evros will be completed in the next 10 months, Citizen Protection Minister Takis Theodorikakos told Skai on Sunday.
The contractor for the extension has already been selected and the project will go ahead once the Court of Audit approves it, he noted.
Theodorikakos referred to the devastating earthquakes in Turkey on February 6 and the help Greek people and the state sent, “and everyone is helping Turkey to stand on its feet again.”
However, he said, “there is a danger that this entire issue turns into new strong migratory pressure.”
He asserted that the Greek borders, especially at Evros, are inviolable and “nothing can go through.”
