Abstract
We didn’t know anyone in Greece, or anywhere else for that matter. But if you want to find a kaçakçi [‘smuggler’ in Turkish], there are so many around it is very easy, and they give you information about where to go, what to do, everything. But you know what, they promise you that in Greece there will be accommodation in a reception centre and jobs and social benefits ... and there is nothing like that. We knew nothing, just rumours, and we came here and found out the truth.
