NATO: Warships Deployed To Aegean To Help Address Migrant Crisis

February 11, 2016 | 11:59 GMT

NATO's European commander on Feb. 11 ordered three warships to move immediately to the Aegean Sea to help end smuggling of migrants between Turkey and Greece, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, AP reported. The warships, currently under German command (though one is Turkish and one is Canadian), will conduct reconnaissance and surveillance operations in the waters. According to Kathimerini, Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos made it clear that Greece would accept the patrols as long as the Greek and Turkish ships involved would patrol in their own territorial waters and that neither Greece or Turkey would take on the rotating leadership of the rapid reaction force in question. While border controls, fences and tougher legislation will probably reduce the number of immigrants coming into Europe, they will by no means solve the Continent's ongoing crisis completely
