On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, thousands of people have taken to the streets of Athens to protest the agreement between Turkey and the European Union. The deal promises to turn back the tide of refugees arriving in Greece. Opponents believe the agreement violates both EU and UN regulations and endangers the lives of asylum seekers. From Athens, Press TV’s Constantine Venizelos explains.
