Greece is reinforcing the Greek Turkish borders with personnel, cameras, drones, heavy vehicles, FRONTEX officers but also with a 5 meter tall fence. The fence is actually a concrete filled, a construction for at least 40KM, a long coverage in the wetlands of Evros river (Meric in Turkish), Greece's river border with Turkey. EU is supporting the border fortification financially. Asylum seekers, migrants and refugees used Evros as an entrance point to Europe, while in March 2020 a huge wave of thousands of people tried to cross the borders. On 20 August 2021 Greek ministers visited Evros to inspect the process of the steel fence works and the border surveillance systems against the new expected migrant crossing as EU is expecting a new asylum seeker wave, a surge from people, migrants from Afghanistan. Poros Village, Evros region, Greece June, 2021
