What is happening to refugees at the Greek-Turkish border? On February 28, Turkey announced that it opened its border and was giving free passage to refugees crossing to Europe. The decision came right after nearly 40 Turkish soldiers died in an airstrike by the Syrian Assad regime. Turkey, home to over 4 million refugees, says it is unable to take in another 1 million displaced people, who are displaced in front of the Southeastern Turkish border, and is calling on Europe to take her share of the burden.
