Syrian representatives have repeated their requests from the Turkish government and EU countries, to allow them to cross through Turkey's western border gate.

A hearing impaired woman among the group urged through sign language that they have been under harsh conditions while waiting in the region, calling on officials to let the crowds walk through the gate and reach Greek border, with the ultimate effort to enter Germany.
A part of the group have been sent back to the towns and relatives that they have left to come to Edirne, while another part have been waiting in the arena to spend the feast of sacrifice, resuming their wait in hope.
