It would be inediquate to think that Greece is building a wall to Turkish border. It is the EU who will build it and i think it carries a strong message to Turkey that "EU borders finishes there". Then this wall/fence would be no different than the wall of Berlin which divided the capitalist Europe from communists.
I believe there will be new interesting things between Europe and Turkey in 2011 and probably Turkey and EU will enter new era of relations especially if the last peace negotiations between Greek and Turkish Cyprus fails and this is very likely since no one expects any settlement. So, i can surely say that new crises are on the way since i am sure that France and others will support Greek Cypriots while Turkish Cypriots will struggle for recognition. If they refuse to recognize, then Turkish Cypriots can try to be a part of mainland Turkey and this might even cause all EU and Turkey relations to halt `till an indefinite time.
Also this wall wont do any good to stop illegal immigrants to go to Greece. If they build it, then they will try other ways like from Aegean sea or regular highway borders with Bulgaria and Greece. Since Bulgarian police never refuses bribes, so immigrants will pass from there. Actually none of immigrants wanna stay in Greece, they wanna go further into Europe, like Italy, France, Germany etc but they get caught in Greece and stay there. But i gotta say that even tough we catch some of them from time to time, Turkish police generally doesn't care much about the ones who go to Greece since we already try to deal with our own illegal immigrants from Armenia, Moldavia, Iraq, Syria and African countries and we cant deal with them all, especially the ones who just transpassing from Turkey to EU.
