The migrant influx comes after President Erdogan threatened to open its frontier to Europe.
He is seeking to pressure EU governments over the Syrian conflict after an airstrike in Syria’s Idlib province on Thursday killed dozens of Turkish soldiers. Huge crowds tried to cross into Greece via the Kastanies Forest in the early hours of Sunday, the source said. Greek security forces are patrolling the Evros river shores – a common crossing point – and have issued loudspeaker warnings not to enter Greek territory.
Turkey and Russia, who back opposing forces in the conflict, have held talks to defuse tensions after the airstrike left 34 Turkish troops dead, sparking fears of a broader war and a new migration crisis for Europe.
