The Greek Foreign and Migration Ministries said today that refugees from those countries would be safe in Turkey.
“They are not in any danger [there] … due to their race, religion, citizenship, political beliefs or membership in some particular social group, and can seek asylum in Turkey instead of in Greece,” they claimed.
