More than 76,000 migrants have left Turkey heading for the EU as Greek police erected barbed wire barricades at border crossings and launched tear gas at crowds. Turkey's Interior minister, Suleyman Soylu, made the claim this morning after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan 'opened the doors'. The EU border force, Frontex, has said it is on 'high alert' and is assisting both Greece and Bulgaria to keep their borders secure. It is thought the Turkish president has opened the borders, causing scenes reminiscent of the 2015 migrant crisis, to try to pressure the EU and its NATO members to lend him support for Turkey's military invaded in Syria. A Greek policeman collects tear gas canisters reportedly thrown from the Turkish side of the border during riots beween migrants and Greek police at the closed Kastanies border crossing, on the borderline between Greece and Turkey, near the Evros River yesterday.
