The article delves into the complex landscape of migration dynamics, examining the issue of militarization in reaction to migration as a hybrid threat in Greek and Turkish contexts, particularly along the Evros border. It reaches into the geopolitical difficulties, security problems, and human rights considerations that come with migration militarization. It reveals migrants’ hard realities through detailed analysis, while simultaneously questioning the ethical dimensions of securitization programmes. By shedding attention on the human cost of militarised borders and arguing for a more humane and rights-based approach, the article challenges current discourses and advocates for a reevaluation of migration governance developed in values of solidarity and compassion.
