(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 21 - Greece has completed a 40km-long
wall on its border with Turkey and installed a surveillance
system to prevent possible asylum seekers, also from
Afghanistan, to enter Europe, The Guardian reported today.
Greece's citizens' protections minister Michalis Chrisochoidis said Athens had taken action to stop a repeat of scenes six years ago. A fence of almost eight miles had already been in place, the daily added. "We cannot wait, passively, for the possible impact," Chrisochoidis said. (ANSA).
