ATHENS: Greece’s migration minister on Sunday dismissed fresh claims that migrants are being illegally pushed out of the country as "fake news" promoted by Turkey.
He was reacting to reports by rights groups that thousands of people had been forced back into Turkey in recent months in violation of their right to asylum. "These are part of a broader fake news strategy promoted by Turkey, through certain non-government organisations and smuggler networks," Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi told To Vima weekly.
