GREECE: Greece to build wall on EU-Turkey border (euobserver, link):

"The Greek government plans to build a wall along its 206-km-long land border with Turkey to help keep out unwanted migrants on the model of the US' border with Mexico... The EU and Turkey have not reacted to the Greek plan, even though it has the potential to cause upset. The Union frequently voices complaints against Israel's anti-Palestinian wall, while slow progress in EU-Turkey accession talks and historic Greek-Turkish tensions could see the new barrier become a symbol of EU antipathy toward its southern neighbour."
