The governor of Edirne province in northwestern Turkey has announced plans to build an 8.5km wall on the western border near Greece, with plans to extend it further. The move comes in the context of the 2016 EU-Turkey agreement on migration management. Both Greece and Bulgaria have already erected barriers on their borders.
