Police blockade to Left Party members who want to give soup to refugees in Edirne

Police Intervention to Left Party members who want to distribute soup for immigrants in Edirne

Immigrants flocked to Edirne border after Turkey announced that border gates would be opened for immigrants who want to cross Europe. The immigrants are still waiting in cold weather conditions. On the other hand, Greek Police do not allow immigrants to cross the border. Immigrants who want to go to Pazarkule border continue their waiting under difficult conditions due to cold weather.

Members of the Left Party, who wanted to distribute soup to immigrants waiting on the Edirne Tunca Bridge, come across a police barrier.
