Re: Greece and Immigration Controls - for itself - and for Europe

If the following statement by John is correct in every aspect, then the incentive for Turkey, Greece, Macedonia and Serbia, or any country, to just push "potential war refugees" on to the next country would be even greater, if true, John's statement would make my point even stronger, but it is highl...
