The Greek government spokesperson, O.Gerovasili stated that a possible closing of the birders will enlarge the problem of terrorist threats, while she stressed that it crucial that the deal between EU and Turkey on the refugee crisis will be applied
In an interview she gave to Alpha radio, Mrs.Gerovasili said: “If we close the borders, we will be closing our enemy within. The people of Europe will have to resist. Europe must resist fear and answer through the values of solidarity and the protection of fundamental human rights”.
Regarding the terrorist hit in Brussels, she stressed that “it is obvious that something went wrong” adding that dealing with this situation is difficult “particularly when there are people who are determined to die”.
When asked about the latest agreement between EU-Turkey on the refugee crisis she stated that it is necessary, now more than ever, to apply the deal since “a legal route is being built through the agreement for the refugees. Failure to apply it would mean closed borders, traffickers out of control, rampant influx, humanitarian crisis and, eventually, consequences on security, therefore a soaring of the problems”.
