Some 36,000 illegal immigrants caught in Evros this year
Some 36,000 illegal immigrants have been caught crossing into Greece via its land border with Turkey, according to figures made public on Friday.
This compares to a total of just over 47,000 arrests during the whole of last year.
Greece is in the process of building a 12.5-kilometer fence in Evros, which is one of the main points of entry for illegal migrants.
