Tear gas has been used to disperse hundreds of migrants trying to break through a fence at Greece's border with Macedonia.
The incident was near the Ideomeni crossing, where more than 11,000 refugees and other migrants are camped out on the Greek side of the border.
There was some confusion over whether the Macedonian or Greek police were firing the tear gas, or both.
Balkan states closed off the migrant route to northern Europe this year.
This week Greece began deporting migranrs who do not qualify for asylum, under an EU deal with Turkey.
More than 300 people, many of them Pakistanis, were sent to Turkey by ferry from the Greek islands.
In addition, nearly 100 were deported via Greece's land border with Turkey, AFP news agency reports......
Sunday's unrest reportedly began after a group of migrants approached the fence to ask Macedonian border guards to open it and let them pass.
When their demand was rejected, they were joined by others, some of whom were carrying packed bags.
Migrants could be seen running from the clouds of tear gas just inside the Greek border, as well as hurling stones across the fence......

Tear gas?
Try .223
But somehow the idiot leaders of our country don't know this or they do and their pockets are overflowing with blood money (bribes)

I hope Macedonia is sending the bill to guard their borders to Merkel. She is the one who started this whole business with y’all come. Now Germany hides behind the border guards of Eastern Europe when they try to come.
Hee hee. Good precedent.
Is tear gas what they use when they run out of soccer balls and teddy bears?
no teddy bears are only used by Beck and cruz .
Think about this:
Obama's clear objective is to tear down the traditional white, christian, capitalist, patriotic American culture and replace it with some
sort of bastardized non-white, socialist, Islamic oligarchy.
The Mexican and muslim invaders, terrorists and rape-u-gees Obama is determioned to unleash on us are really just unpaid divisions of
Obama's anti-America army.
Conversely, if Beck and Cruz ran out of soccer balls and teddy bears, they would never in a million years dream of holding off the endless flood of foreign invaders with tear gas. That just wouldn’t send the right message of, ‘Welcome to America!”
The latest from EU land is a tightening of borders and a deal to send some back to Turkey.
The EU is bribing the Islamist-Lite regime of President Erdogan to take some of these people, believe it or not.
I had no idea the EU had so embarrassed itself. Erdogan jerks them around like a puppeteer who doesn’t particularly like his puppets. All the more reason to force Europe to pay their share of NATO.
