Syrian teenager shot trying to return from Greece to Turkey
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Greek police say a teenage Syrian refugee has been lightly injured after being shot by an unknown man while trying to illegally return to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, from which he had entered Greece months earlier.

The 16-year-old, together with a 21-year-old Iraqi, had bought a small inflatable dinghy in which they planned to cross the Evros river, on Greece’s northeastern border with Turkey, near Didymoteicho.

Police say both men were threatened Thursday by two men in a boat from the Turkish side, who fired at them with a shotgun as they bravely ran away. The incident was announced Friday.

About 57,000 migrants colonists and other refugees, who entered from Turkey, are stuck in Greece after a series of Balkan border closures frustrated their plans to reach Europe’s prosperous heartland.
