The Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) has expressed its support for Greece and by extension the European Union in its joint position on the forced expulsion of refugees and economic migrants by Turkey towards Greece and Europe.
The GCM remains concerned about the fate of these refugees and economic migrants that Turkey is forcefully expelling from its borders armed with false hopes
and in clear contravention of its agreement with the European Union.
GCM President Bill Papastergiadis told Neos Kosmos that he is talking with authorities on the front line of the crisis in order to ascertain the needs of the immigrants and to ensure that help goes where it is most needed to help combat a crisis on the Greek borders that is not of Greece’s making.
