European Union Ministers have engaged in emergency talks in Brussels to address the twenty five thousand refugees waiting on the border of Turkey and Greece trying to cross into Europe.
The EU promised financial support to Greece to help with the situation and improve their reception capabilities.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis says Greece has made several arrests and averted over twenty four thousand attempts at illegal entry. He claims Europe has not been up to the task of dealing with the migration crisis and he hopes the current situation will serve as a wake-up call.
