The most important statistic that came out of Greece this week had nothing to do with the economy.
The EU said that 300 migrants are illegally crossing the border from Turkey every single day.
Frontex, the EU Border Control agency which has monitors on the Greek-Turkish border, said that the total number for the month of October was 9,600, representing "an absolute monthly record".
It describes the situation as "dramatic". In other words, the Greek economic crisis appears to be having no impact whatsoever on the numbers of people trying to enter the country
Afghans are still the biggest group, but there have been significant increases in the numbers from Pakistan, Algeria and Morocco.
Of course, the vast majority of these people don't want to stay in Greece.
They plan to move on to more prosperous parts of Europe, travelling via Italy or the Balkan countries.
But many migrants discover it is not so easy to do this, or that they end up being repatriated to Greece from other European countries.

Συνεργασία Τουρκίας - Αλβανίας στο έγκλημα

σχετικά με τη φύση της μετανάστευσης.
Διευκρινίζω - δεν είναι όλοι οι μετανάστες εγκληματίες, όμως εδώ έχουμε να κάνουμε με στίφη που κινούνται με χρήματα εγκληματικών δραστηριοτήτων.
Δεν γνωρίζω αν τα κύκλωματα κινούνται ανάμεσα στους μετανάστες ή το αντίστροφο. Υποψιάζομαι τα χειρότερα.

Η Τουρκία σε σχέση με τα ναρκωτικά από το Αφγανιστάν δεν είναι απλά τόπος διέλευσης. Είναι τόπος επεξεργασίας οπίου σε ηρωίνη, με εργοστάσια που παλαιότερα ήταν πέντε και κατά τον πόλεμο στο Κόσσοβο ανήλθαν στα επτά. Σήμερα???
