Greek-Turkish tensions from the Evros border to the Aegean

Late last week 92 asylum seekers were found by Greek police and European border guards stripped naked at the Evros border between Greece and Turkey. Questions about this incident spilled over onto Twitter, where Greece and Turkey traded accusations about what happened as Greece’s officials said that Turkey orchestrated the incident. In 2020 Turkey encouraged migrants to storm the Evros border, and since then there’s been an ongoing information war over migration. The issue has also become a central part of Turkey’s broader narrative as it ramps up tensions with Greece in the Aegean, prompting fears that a possible military incident could trigger a wider conflict. John Psaropoulos, an independent journalist based in Athens and Al Jazeera’s southeast Europe correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis.
