Amid the migrant crisis, the Turkish-Greek conflict moves to social media

The Greeks and Turks are waging a proxy war on social media with photos, clips, and comments intended to show that the other side is behaving poorly in a migrant crisis that has severely deteriorated the already strained relations between Athens and Ankara.

Migrants from the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other regions, estimated to number 35,000, are trying to enter Greece, a member of the European Union in Ankara said on February 28th, that it would not keep migrants on its territory anymore as required under the 2016's agreement with the European Union In exchange for aid.

(Greece under attack) and (Greece defending Europe) became popularly used on Greek accounts on Twitter. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşo uglu used (Greece attacking refugees).

A video circulated on Monday showed a tractor apparently spraying liquid towards the border fence, to flood the hundreds of migrants gathered on the Turkish side.

Some Greek social media users speculated that he was a farmer who sprayed pig urine at the border. Turkish social media users said the clip showed that the police and farmers were using chemical weapons and had established an electronic link to the United Nations.

This heated debate on the Internet is based on a long history of conflict between Turkey and Greece, which are still at odds over issues such as Cypriots and gas exploration in the eastern Mediterranean alongside migrants.

Turkey, which hosts 3.6 million Syrian refugees, says the European Union has not kept its promises to help. Brussels and Athens accuse Ankara of urging migrants to break into the borders in an attempt to "blackmail" Europe to give more money and to support its geopolitical goals in the Syrian conflict.

Pictures showed that Reuters could not verify the authenticity of migrants who were forced to undress except for their underwear after being arrested on the Greek side of the border and then sent back. Other photos show Turkish forces reportedly trying to dismantle parts of the border fence to make it easier for migrants to cross.

Turkey says Greek forces fire live bullets, killing four migrants last week, which Athens denies.

One of the Turkish commentators pointed out that Greece is "full of Coronavirus, unlike Turkey" and recommends "never visit Greece", although Erdogan encourages migrants to go there.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...

“A Reminder for the Role of Nuclear Program”

This is something great that I want to share about what I read today. It’s how whether or not Iran's nuclear program is expected for non military personnel purposes or for creating atomic weapons is quite possibly the most major problem with regards to local and worldwide harmony and security. The reaction to this inquiry will characterize what approaches different governments should seek after toward the Iranian system and its atomic aspirations. Yet, on the off chance that we carefully look at the historical backdrop of Tehran's nuclear program, it becomes completely clear that it was planned for creating nuclear weapons from the beginning. For me, the other reason would the system's nuclear record be loaded up with mystery and undercover exercises, when the Iranian chiefs could really benefit on the off chance that they uncovered all their atomic locales?
