Abstract
This article shall discuss the issue of cross-border migration in the era of COVID 19 with reference to the major political
shifts that are going on or have been planned in Europe especially those which are revolving around the Greece Turkey
border by the national and supranational bodies, and how they are going to impact the migrant population in the coming
years. Where millions of migrants are stuck at the borders, this article would attempt to look into the changing dimensions of
politics and governments and evaluate their response towards the migrants and refugees who are trying to get into Europe via
Turkey amid this pandemic. On one hand, spells of massive lockdown and travel restrictions have turned millions of workers
into economic migrants, whereas crises like climate change, civil wars and regional conflicts have already forced people to
leave their home countries on the other. This has created a challenge to the liberal governments to act accordingly and stand
steadily on their ideological grounds, while providing humanitarian responses to the huge migrant problem.

Key words: Migration, Pandemic, COVID 19, Refugees, Europe, Greece-Turkey Border
