GREECE has designated Turkey as a “safe” country for asylum-seekers from Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Somalia.
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.
