In the case with the allegedly dead child in?Evros River at the Greek Turkish border, the Minister of Immigration and Asylum,?Notis Mitarakis?,was mentioned, giving more details about those who are hiding behind the incident.?At the same time, Mr. Mitarakis calls on the president of SYRIZA to admit that he made a mistake.?On the same wavelength and the deputy minister of the interior, Stelios Petsas, who said that "some people uncritically adopted the fabricated article against Greece about the dead girl in Evros", while?he called on Alexis Tsipras to apologize.
It is unacceptable, whether political forces or individual persons, to immediately adopt such fabricated issues in order to damage the image of Greece abroad and exploit some micro-political benefits at home.?It is unacceptable, he must be isolated and everyone must apologize, with Mr. Tsipras first.?He had already drawn his conclusion, he had condemned Greece and was trying to obtain any petty political benefit from this national issue," said Mr. Petsas, speaking to SKAI news.

Mr. Mitarakis, speaking to OPEN, also said that "Several things emerge from this case.?Firstly, it turns out that there was no fifth child and as the Prime Minister had said in Parliament, some people baptized her Mary on the day of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebration Day on August 15 in Greece.?All the evidence showed that the family that arrived in our country had declared four children.?All the photos that appeared in the international media showed four children and claimed that there was a fifth.?They criticized me for commenting on the case that is in court, while the media that reproduced the fake news had the right to do so.?Some correspondents judged that the government had no right to do that."
"Behind the case is possibly a Greek, not a Turk"
“The question that arises is who were the people who orchestrated this incident.?The trafficker mentioned in the reports is likely to be Greek.?We do not have the information that he was Turkish.?Greeks are likely to be involved in this specific case of fabricating the death of a child.?I have filed a report with the Supreme Court prosecutor, there is an open case, many things are being investigated at the moment.?The other thing that emerges is that one of the 38 migrants who appears as a spokesperson for the group does not exist in the documents of the European court of human rights.?That is, it seems that a person who played the role of the group's press representative does not appear in the testimony of the two NGOs.
"If we had made a mistake on August 15 and entered Turkish territory to search for these 38 under the pressure of the foreign media, under the pressure of the official opposition, under the pressure of the NGO, you realize what a heated episode could have potentially become in Evros river, that crosses the border between Greece and Turkey he emphasized.
