Turkish officials claimed on March 4, 2020 that one migrant was killed by Greek fire on the Turkey-Greece border where thousands of migrants have massed since last week. But on the other side Greece "categorically" denied claims by Turkey that it had fired live bullets against migrants on the border, with several allegedly injured and one later dying. / AFP / Ozan KOSEShow less
