Comment
This year we will take measures to ensure physical security at our western border for the first time. Walls and fences will be built along the border line. As you know, there were only patrol roads. The patrol roads have been completed, and a tender has been held for the construction of physical fences and walls, as on the eastern border. We will take measures to ensure physical security at the western border for the first time
Additionally
In 2016, an agreement was signed between Turkey and the EU to significantly reduce the number of refugees entering the EU through Turkey.
Supplement
A representative of the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (Republican People's Party - RPP) Ahmet Baran Yazgan stated that Turkey is a NATO country and that there is no need to build a wall on the border with Greece, and the main goal is to prevent the infiltration of refugees into Europe.
Of course, there should be a demarcation point to define and protect the borders of our country, but there is no need for such a wall. Turkey's normal position with its European neighbors is not like the situation between Mexico and America.
Recall
Donald Trump stated that the US should worry less about Putin and more about illegal migrants. He warned of the threat of "bandits and drug lords" to the country, comparing the situation to Europe.
