“I Stand With Greece” – Turkey “Opens the Floodgates” :: Dialogos Radio – Week of March 9-15, 2020

kastaniesThis week on a special English-language edition of Dialogos Radio, producer-host Dr. Michael Nevradakis, along with author and ex-university lecturer Evans Agelissopoulos, discuss in detail the rapidly changing developments following Turkey’s decision to “open the floodgates” and release hundreds of thousands of migrants towards Greece and Europe.

Topics that will be covered on this week’s broadcast include the following:

  • Are Greece’s borders really “closed” or does the sea passage towards Greece remain open while the media narrative focuses on the pressures at the mainland border with Turkey?
  • Are the Greek and Turkish governments mutually taking advantage of this situation for their own ends?
  • In Greece, might we be headed towards the establishment of a national unity government?
  • Will the current government attempt to proceed with the construction of “closed” migrant camps, but this time on the mainland?
  • Are the “refugees” really escaping war and violence in Syria or are they from elsewhere?
  • Are these developments leading to the resurrection of patriotic sentiment in Greece?
  • What was the outcome of Erdogan’s recent meeting with Vladimir Putin and what can be expected from Erdogan’s meeting with EU officials?
  • How are the mainstream media, the “left” and the “alt-right” each framing the narrative surrounding the migrant crisis through their own biased lens?
  • How is #IStandWithGreece being co-opted by “patriotic” Greek organizations that have not supported Greek national issues in the past?
  • How is it that Turkey does not have one reported Coronavirus (Covid-19) case when it operates as a transit point from countries where there have been outbreaks of the virus?
  • Finally, what’s behind the politics of open borders and free migration?

All this and more will be discussed in detail on this week’s special edition of Dialogos Radio—hear it via our network of affiliated radio stations worldwide during the week of March 9-15, 2020, or online via our podcast, YouTube, or Mixcloud:
