  • [01] Austrian minister: Greek-Turkish borders must close, refugees sent back

    VIENNA (ANA-MPA / D. Dimitrakoudis) – The borders between Greece and Turkey must close and refugees caught trying to cross over into Europe should be sent back to Turkey, Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner was reported as commentnig to the Austrian daily "Der Standard", in statements published on Monday.

    Mikl-Leitner is scheduled to meet with Greek Alternate Foreign Minister for European Affairs, Nikos Xydakis, in Vienna later in the day.

    "Rescuing [refugees] must naturally come first, but the automatic entry into the EU must not follow in the second place. People should be transported back to Turkey. They will then immediately stop the dangerous (maritime) approaches," she was quoted as saying.

    The Austrian minister has threatened Athens with expulsion from the Schengen area, in statements over the last two weeks, if "Athens doesn't finally do more to secure the EU's external borders."
