However, Ioannis Grigoriadis, a Greek scholar at Bilkent University in Ankara, said he believes the practical effects of the fence on restricting illegal immigration will be minimal, as the flow will not cease but simply be diverted to other crossings along the more than 200km riparian border shared by Greece and Turkey.
Međutim, Joanidis Grigorijadis, grčki saradnik na Bilkent univerzitetu u Ankari, smatra da će praktična korist od ograde u pogledu smanjivanja ilegalne imigracije biti minimalna, pošto priliv neće biti smanjen, već jednostavno preusmeren na druge prelaze duž 200 km dugačke obalne granice između Grčke i Turske.
