Greece plans to renew a request for EU funds to expand its 24-mile long steel border wall with Turkey, citing concerns over more attempted border crossings.
Takis Theodorikakos, a member of the Hellenic Parliament, said at a parliamentary briefing that the country also plans to expand its artificial intelligence system at the border. This system takes data from surveillance towers via sensors and long-range cameras and flags the most pressing information for border security.
According to Theodorikakos, the wall and the security system have already helped to stop over 143,000 crossings via the Greece-Turkey border this year through October. This is a 45 percent increase from last year.The Pulitzer Center reported that in February 2020, the Turkish government announced it would no longer patrol its border with Greece and would not help to keep migrants out of the EU.
Greece says it will renew a request for European Union funds in 2022 to extend a border wall along its frontier with Turkey and promised to expand a powerful surveillance network aimed at stopping migrants entering the country illegally.
