Ormenio

Four human traffickers, three foreigners and one Greek, were arrested on Saturday in the northern regions of Rhodope and Evros.

Police from the Rhodope and Alexandroupolis departments made the arrests.

Police authorities have arrested three people for illegally transporting immigrants in areas of Evros.

ORMENIO - Army sergeant Christos Giannakidis was planning to have a second child when Greece's debt crisis exploded last decade, straining his finances and erasing hope of extending the family.

One son is expensive enough, he says, especially the cost of ferrying him around his remote corner of northeastern Greece where the number of children has plummeted in recent years.

The incident took place in the Turkish side of Evros

A man believed to be an undocumented migrant died on Saturday morning after being hit by a train en route to Ormenio from Alexandroupoli in northeastern Greece.
The incident occurred near the town of Soufli, close to the Turkish border, with authorities suspecting that the man had slipped into Greece through the Evros region.

Traffic police in Alexandroupoli, northern Greece, were on Thursday investigating the circumstances that led to the death of a young man who was hit by a train serving the Alexandroupoli-Ormenio route shortly before 10 a.m.
According to local reports, the man was aged between 20 and 30 and had no identification documents on him.

Inquiries are being conducted after two people were killed and a third injured critically on Friday night after being hit by a train in two separate incidents close to the city of Alexandroupoli in northeastern Greece.

Greek farmers are determined to continue their protest actions and blocking the roads, while they are accusing the Greek government of provocative acts, telling lies and dishonesty.

Specifically, the Kastanies-Rizia blockade released a statement denouncing what government spokesperson Olga Gerovassili said during the press conference.
