This report documents the results of a project that has been carried out by the PRO ASYL Foundation and the Friends of PRO ASYL in Greece and Turkey since 2010. The project has been made possible through the generous support and cooperation of Brot für die Welt, Deutscher Caritasverband, Diakonisches Werk in Hessen und Nassau, Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau, EvangelischLutherische Kirche in Bayern, Stiftung :do and UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe. We would like to thank our partners for their support. We would like to especially thank the authors of this report: Katerina Tsapopoulou, Marianna Tzeferakou and Salinia Stroux. With their energy and dedication, they have produced a unique document, which covers the situation and developments in the Evros-Region over a time period of more than one year. This gives the report great relevance. We would also like to thank Natassa Strachini who has participated in the research conducted and who made valuable contributions.
