Erdogan tells Greece to let migrants across border ahead of his talks with EU
[Daily Mail UK] President Erdogan called on Greece to 'open the gates' for migrants trying to reach Europe at Turkey's border ahead of his talks with the EU on Monday.

Thousands of migrants have arrived at Turkey's border with Greece since Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced last month that the country would no longer prevent migrants and refugees from crossing over to Europe.

Elsewhere, a blaze ripped through a refugee centre on the Greek island of Lesbos - the second fire at an installation built for migrants after a reception centre was burned down last Monday.

Tensions have also continued to grow at the land border, where asylum seekers gathered between the Kastanies and Pazarkule border gates were today photographed throwing tear gas canisters back at Greek security forces.

A video released by the Greek government also appears to show a Turkish armoured vehicle attempting to pull down part of the border fence with a rope, though the authenticity of the clip could not immediately be verified. # id) ?>
