On Friday morning, Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis referred to suspects in Greece with ties to Iran who are currently under surveillance.

Speaking to SKAI, he said: “They are registered, but I consider that not the main risk. The issue is whether there will be directives to cause problems in Europe.”

According to Chrysochoidis, “The key issue is the protection of borders, as well as the possibility that the crisis could be exported through terrorism.”

He added: “A country like Greece, neighboring areas of conflict, must take all measures against threats that could potentially affect it. We must build what is called security. For internal security and terrorism issues, vigilance is crucial; what kills is routine and complacency.”

“The flow of migrants across the Evros River from Turkey is not happening; the Turks are cooperating. We have a problem in Crete, but it comes from a specific source. If a humanitarian crisis arises, there will also be issues with migration,” concluded the Minister of Citizen Protection.
