The Turkish press is beating the drums over the arrival of US forces in Evros

“In 2020 Greece secured its borders in Evros & the Aegean Sea & guarded its rights in the Eastern Mediterranean”

The Hellenic Police (ELAS) has revealed that weapons made in Turkey have been confiscated in the Evros region in recent weeks.

A foreign national was arrested in Greece on Wednesday afternoon after he was found with thousands of pills of an unspecified drug which he had smuggled into the country from Turkey.

The man was detained by officers of the local anti-drugs squad in a rural area near Didymoteicho, at the border region of Evros.

A Turkish special forces boat that was patrolling the Evros (Meriç) River came under harassment fire shot from the Greek side of the shared border, the governor's office of the northwestern province of Edirne has said.
The special force police were patrolling the Turkish side of the river and found a corpse of a migrant stuck in the roots of trees.

Despite Turkey's decision to evacuate the refugee camp at the Kastanies border crossing last month, tensions remain in the Evros River region as indicated by two incidents on Thursday night.

Greece will remain on high alert on land and on the islands over the Easter holidays in case Turkey suddenly decides to escalate tensions, Defense Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos said Tuesday.

The Hellenic Coast Guard has increased the number of patrols along Greece's eastern sea border amid reports that refugees and migrants are moving en masse by bus from inland camps in Turkey to the coast opposite the Greek islands of Chios, Lesvos and Kos, stoking fears of a repeat of what happened in February at the Evros land border and in the eastern Aegean.
