GREECE’S Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told journalists today that his government’s plans to speed up migrant deportations to Turkey. 

Mr Mitsotakis told French news agency AFP: “Our number one priority [is to] accelerate the asylum process. When someone is not entitled to asylum, then he or she needs to return to Turkey.

“[Greece will need] more European support, the technology to identify the boats even before they leave the Turkish shore, the ability to communicate with the Turkish coast guard so the boats are actually stopped within Turkish territorial waters.”
