Turkey appears to be waging a war of attrition and psychological warfare against Greek forces that are stretched along the borderline at Evros.
According to Evros Vice-Mayor Dimitris Petrovic, the new hotspot is located in the Petrades region, near Pythios Evros. The area where the immigrants are attacking has a narrow pass that leads into Greek territory and there are no protective fences.
