Greece boosts border patrols as turkey says will release refugees

Greece has increased its border patrols and deployed additional troops to its border with Turkey, following Turkey's announcement that it will release refugees and migrants who have been stranded at the border.

Turkey's decision to release the refugees comes after a deal between Turkey and the European Union to stem the flow of migrants to Europe in 2016. Under the deal, Turkey agreed to take back migrants who had crossed into Greece, in exchange for financial aid and other benefits.

However, tensions have been rising between Greece and Turkey in recent weeks, with Greece accusing Turkey of violating the deal by allowing thousands of migrants to cross into Greece. Turkey has denied the allegations, saying that it is simply allowing refugees to exercise their right to seek asylum.

Greece has responded to Turkey's decision by deploying additional troops to its border and increasing its border patrols. The country has also called on the European Union to take action to address the crisis.

The situation is being closely watched by the international community, with many countries expressing concern about the humanitarian implications of the crisis. The United Nations has called on both Greece and Turkey to respect the rights of refugees and migrants, and to work together to find a solution to the crisis.

In the meantime, thousands of refugees and migrants remain stranded at the border, with many facing harsh conditions and uncertainty about their future. The crisis highlights the ongoing challenges faced by countries in the region in dealing with the refugee crisis, and the need for international cooperation and support to address the issue.
