Demiris) The presence of Frontex forces along the Greek-Turkish land border -- Evros River region -- has helped reduce the pressure from illegal migration in that area, Greece's Citizens' Protection Minister Christos Papoutsis told his EU counterparts here on Thursday.Addressing the EU Justice and Home Affairs ministers' council, Papoutsis cited the European Commission's report on protecting the EU's external borders and (ANA-MPA) preventing illegal migration and stressed that the observed reduction in migration flow after the deployment of the EU border agency's Rapid Border Intervention Teams (RABITs) in Evros was significant.

Samaras focused on the fact that the economic policy followed by the government is causing greater recession instead of reducing the deficit, while the debt increases uncontrollably. As regards Greek-Turkish relations, the ND leader said the legal status of the Aegean, which is in compliance with international law and the Law of the Sea, should be respected.
