Due to the migration pressure from Turkey is increasing week by week, more and more migrants try to cross the Hungarian border, announced Gyorgy Bakondi, Chief Security Adviser to the Prime Minister Tuesday.

According to Mr Bakondi, since the coup attempt in Turkey, the number of migrants arriving on the Greek islands has been doubling every week. He added that migrants are also arriving at the Hungarian border after having crossed the Bulgarian border and Serbia. As a result, more than one hundred people are attempting to cross Hungary’s border illegally every day, and authorities are already preventing the same number of attempts at the border fence, he added.
