Clashes escalate between Greek army and migrants on Turkish border

Description

Footage from the Greek government shows clashes escalate between migrants at the Turkish border seeking to cross the border into Greece and the Greek military. Nearly 10,000 migrants have been blocked from entering Greece after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the stakes by vowing to allow refugees to travel to Europe from NATO-member Turkey as a way to pressure EU governments over the Syrian conflict across its southern border.
