Syrian refugees in limbo on Turkey-Greece border

Frustration and anger are growing among refugees on the border between Turkey and Greece.

They are waiting to seize an opportunity to get into the European Union via Bulgaria and Greece.

The Turkish government says more than 117,000 refugees have crossed borders.

But Greece has already deported some.

Al Jazeera's Natasha Ghoneim reports from the border town of Doyran.

They want to live like us but they don't want to work like us !

[dartagnan]

Why isn’t Al Jeezera Demanding that Qatar take them in. Oh wait I know

[PLRAHAPL]

look a all that trash they leave behind

[hanswurst]

Thx Greece for protecting Europe against this invasion!

[kallekarlsson]

Why dont they go to Saudiarabia? Very wealthy country with lots of space. Room to grow, same culture. 🤔

[calmangel]

Why don't Qatar receive some immigrants

[marianfree]

Being Greek myself I know a thing or two about the situation with the migrants in the country. When the refugee crisis started 5 years ago, most Greeks were sympathetic to them, even supportive, I know people who tried to help by offering food, clothes etc. and all in all were very tolerant. Now it has gotten out of hand. The lives of the people on the islands where the camps were set up are totally ruined: tourists stopped coming to a large degree, there are everyday incidents of theft, sometimes it's dangerous to walk out in the streets, churches have been vandalized, fields looted and so on. We've had enough. Keep them all out. Great job Greek police and army, keep it up.

As Syrian, . Why Arabian gulf countries including Qatar didn’t host not even one Syrian refugee !

[carlberna]

"almost 4 millions of refugees" that is a lye, the truth is "almost 4 millions of economic migrants" and Turkey use those persons as a throwing weapon and this is not acceptable and Turkey needs money for war not for people

[LantulBull]

i m a korean Syria was a country that supported relief supplies in the Korean War. The Korean government should now actively help Syrian refugees.

[dannyvdmoo]

again docters and enigineers send them back we have enough in europe

[DG-yhpz]

"it's about all countries changing their mindset and welcoming them. Until then they are determined to push their way in. Anyway they can." sounds perfectly reasonable...

[christosp.tsonis]

Greece has reached a saturation point with asylum seekers, who are not Syrian refugees. Greece is an EU member, yet it receives no help from the European Union (EU) in defending its border. The leaders of the EU must understand that in order to save the EU from complete disintegration, they must establish common defence policies similar to those of the U.S.A. If the EU leaders cared about all their members, they would give a stern warning to Turkey to stop sending asylum seekers to Greece daily.

the Syrians are using their CHILDREN as PROPAGANDA, Media not showing the mainly Young Males masses of immigrants.

[zzfinch]

The majority of these people are economic migrants and are detracting from the real refugees who need help, please report the facts.

[TheoDoulke]

they are not Syrians! dont use Syrians !

[sriparnabanerjee]

I have my sympathy with them but 34 years old has no roof above head literally no country but has 3 children already they've to change their mindset first..

[Lia-wvpm]
