Greece plans sea barriers to block migrants
By EUobserver
The Greek government unveiled a plan to test floating sea barriers to stop migrants sailing from Turkey to its Aegean islands, German dpa news wire reported. "We want to see whether it can be implemented and whether it can work," defence minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos told Skai TV on Thursday. Migrants stranded on Greek high seas, nevertheless, will have to be rescued under international maritime rules.
