Migrants protest on March 18, 2016 at a makeshift camp at the Greek-Macedonian border, near the Greek village of Idomeni, asking the opening of the borders of EU countries after a summit of European Union (EU) leaders and Turkish premier Ahmet Davutoglu approved a controversial deal to curb the huge flow of asylum seekers to Europe, with all migrants arriving in Greece from Sunday to be sent back.

Under the deal, reached following a two-day summit in Brussels, refugees arriving in Greece from the Turkish territory will be returned to Turkey from Sunday.
