Greece is reporting a series of incidents with the Turkish coast guard in the narrow stretch of water between the eastern Greek island of Lesbos and the Turkish coast, at a time of generally testy relations between the two neighbors and NATO allies. The Greek coast guard said three incidents occurred Friday morning northeast of Lesbos, an island on the main migrant smuggling route from Turkey to Greece. It said two involved Turkish coast guard vessels escorting or pushing dinghies carrying migrants toward Greek territorial waters. There was no immediate reaction from Turkish authorities. Turkey and Greece have long traded accusations over the migration issue. (Hellenic Coast Guard via AP)

A Greek flag on a makeshift tent outside the perimeter of the overcrowded refugee camp at the port of Vathy on the eastern Aegean island of Samos, Greece, Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021. On a hill above a small island village, the sparkling blue of the Aegean just visible through the pine trees, lies a boy’s grave. His first ever boat ride was to be his last - the sea claimed him before his sixth birthday. His 25-year-old father, like so many before him, had hoped for a better life in Europe, far from the violence of his native Afghanistan. But his dreams were dashed on the rocks of Samos, a picturesque Greek island almost touching the Turkish coast. Still devastated from losing his only child, the father has now found himself charged with a felony count of child endangerment. (AP Photo/Thanassis Stavrakis)
