Turkey Plans Border Wall to Curb Migration into Greece

Initial 8.5-kilometer section of the wall to be constructed this year along the Turkey-Greece border, with further expansion planned.

Turkey has announced plans to build a border wall along its land border with Greece to prevent illegal migration into the European Union.
The first phase of construction will cover 8.5 kilometers and is set to begin this year, according to the governor of Edirne province, Yunus Sezer.
The wall is part of a longer-term project to cover significant portions of the approximately 200-kilometer border between the two countries.
This move follows a 2016 agreement between Turkey and the EU aimed at reducing migration flows, though many migrants still attempt to cross into Greece, often risking their lives at sea.
Turkey has previously constructed over 1,000 kilometers of border walls along its frontiers with Iran and Syria to address similar migration and security concerns.
