More than a dozen migrants trying to reach Greece drown after their boat sinks off the Turkish coast.
Greece’s charismatic left-wing leader Alexis Tsipras emerged victorious in Greece’s general election Sunday (20 September), winning his second mandate as premier, despite a controversial austerity deal struck with European leaders.
