Clashes at Greek-Macedonian border
Eidomeni - Arab Today

At least five migrants were slightly hurt Friday when Macedonian police threw noise grenades to drive back refugees from the country's border with Greece, an AFP photographer at the scene said.

More than 3,000 mostly Syrian refugees are stuck in no-man's land near the Greek village of Eidomeni after Macedonia Thursday declared a state of emergency and sent troops to help stem the flow of migrants attempting to cross the Balkan country to reach northern Europe.

Macedonian authorities, however, denied any clashes had taken place. Interior Ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski told AFP, there was "no incident, no tear bombs... nothing like that on Macedonian side."

An AFP pht spokeperson of the Macedonian Ministry of Interior said to AFP in a statement

Au moins cinq réfugiés ont été légèrement blessés vendredi par des grenades assourdissantes lancées par des policiers macédoniens à Eidomeni, commune grecque à la frontière greco-macédonienne, a indiqué un photographe de l'AFP sur place.

Toutefois, la police macédonienne a nié tout incident. Plus de 3.000 réfugiés, majoritairement des Syriens arrivés en Grèce, sont actuellement bloqués à la frontière greco-macédonienne après que le gouvernement macédonien eut décrété mercredi l'état d'urgence et renforcé la présence policière à la frontière avec la Grèce pour empêcher le flux des migrants, qui souhaitent passer en Macédoine pour continuer leur route vers l'Europe occidentale.
