A contingent of border police sent by Frontex, the European agency for guarding the EU's external borders, arrived in Greece in order to assist efforts to stem the tide of illegal migrants entering the EU via the Greek-Turkish land border. Greece had requested assistance from the EU border policing agency some days ago in order to tackle increased pressure from illegal migration along its borders with Turkey. EPA/NIKOS ARVANITIDIS
