Turkey urges Greece to stop 'inhumane treatment' of refugees
(MENAFN) Turkey attacked Greece over its "inhumane" treatment of refugees when 19 of them died out of cold at the Greek-Turkish frontier.
Turkey’s National Defense Ministry stated the refugees, whose clothes, shoes, and other belongings were allegedly seized by Greek frontier forces ahead of being forced to Turkey, froze to death in the cold weather "as a result of Greece's inhumane treatment."
The ministry underlined "Greece must immediately end its inhumane treatment both on its land borders and at sea," condemning Athens of ignoring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The report as well showed that Turkey believes the Greek people "followed these images with shame and heartache and met this treatment of migrants with hatred. These actions should now draw the EU's attention."
