@nmitarakis too manages to get through his entire presentation without mentioning the events on 4th March in which multiple people were shot.
The third Greek official at this committee, @GKoumoutsakos, also completely avoids the elephant in the room that multiple people were shot on the Greek-Turkish border earlier this year. 
@YlvaJohansson calls for all allegations of illegal conduct to be investigated by Greece.
As we have seen in the last three presentations and previous statements, the Greek government has dismissed multiple thorough investigations as "fake news" and ignored them.

And just in time to prove our point, Greek MEP @vozemberg refers to investigations alleging illegal conduct as "fake news", "slander" and states that there is no proof.
She should probably read our investigations on @bellingcat.

@Tineke_Strik pulls the commission back to reality by reading out the known names of those killed and injured at the Gr-Tr border and points out that the three Greek ministers completely failed to mention these events.
@Tineke_Strik points out that the Greek Govt is in denial about these events, which fits what we have seen in terms of official responses to our investigations.
Greek Ministers now have an opportunity to answer the questions raised.
@chrisochoidis get worked up about an earlier statement that implied the Greek Govt's actions are more aligned with the far right.

As with official responses to investigations by @bellingcat @ForensicArchi @derspiegel @LHreports @SkyNews & others, the Greek Govt representatives completely failed to answer any of the the questions raised relating to the death and injury of multiple people on the Gr-Tr border.
The extent of the Greek Govt defence has been to cry "fake news", pretend these events did not take place and refuse to answer any questions relating to them.
