Clashes intensified at the Turkish - Greek border on Wednesday where thousands of refugees are hopeful of reaching European land after Turkey opened its border for those who wanted to leave. 

They stressed the country had to shift its resources from "prevention of migration to Europe toward focusing on IDPs and refugees coming from Idlib" according to the country's Chief of Communications. 

Meanwhile, some refugees claim they've managed to cross into Greece but were sent back to Turkish borders. CGTN's Michal Bardavid explains.
