Greece is considering building a fence along a section of its border with Turkey that is the busiest transit point for illegal immigration in Europe, the country's public order minister said in an interview posted on his web site Monday.
Christos Papoutsis said the fence would be part of an effort to stop illegal immigrants from entering the European Union.
"We also plan to upgrade and modernize the Greek Coast Guard and at our land borders to create a fence to deter illegal immigrants," he said in an interview with Greece's state news agency that was posted on his web site.
"Greek society has exceeded its limit in its capacity to accommodate illegal immigrants," Papoutsis said. "Greece can no longer tolerate this."
