Greece accused of illegal pushback of refugees at sea

In recent months, #Greece has been accused of pushing back #migrants in the Aegean Sea – an illegal practice meaning people who are trying to land on its islands are pushed back into Turkish territorial waters. #Athens has rejected the accusations, denouncing a "campaign of denigration orchestrated by Ankara".

A team of FRANCE 24 journalists reports alongside the Turkish coast guard.
