The court ruling was hailed by NGOs supporting the rights of immigrants and the UN's Refugee Agency Athens Branch of UNHCR. "Greece has been the gate of entrance for mixed groups of people, refugees and migrants … which places a very heavy burden on the country," spokeswoman Ketty Kehayioylou told SETimes.
Odluku suda pozdravile su nevladine organizacije koje podržavaju prava imigranata i Atinski ogranak Agencije UN za izbeglice UNHCR-a. „Grčka je mesto ulaska za različite grupe ljudi, izbeglice i migrante … što predstavlja vrlo teško breme za zemlju“, rekla je portparolka Keti Kehajojlu za SETimes.
