Turkey: Tear gas fired to push migrants away from Greece border

Description

Tear gas appears to be fired from the Greek side to push migrants away from the border, as hundreds are blocked at the Turkish border with Greece. They now hope they can cross into the EU member state after Ankara said it would no longer prevent refugees from crossing into Europe following the death of 33 Turkish troops in northern Syria.
