Greek Parliament Passes Bill to Return Migrants to Turkey

The Greek parliament has passed a law allowing migrants arriving in the country to be returned to Turkey. 
The voting came as refugees at overcrowded camps as well as the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and Greek humanitarian groups expressed concern over the return procedure and the future of the deported. 
The bill that incorporates EU law on asylum seekers to allow the implementation of the EU-Turkey agreement was ratified with 169 votes in favor, 107 against. A total of 276 legislators participated in the roll call vote. 
On Monday, Turkey is due to receive its first migrants returned from Greece. 
Under the EU-Turkey agreement migrants and refugees arriving in Greece after March 20 are to be held in hotspots on the Aegean Sea islands and sent back if their asylum requests are not accepted.
