Greece cannot provide adequate aid to all refugees and migrants, he said, asking that they be allowed to continue their journey to other European countries.
More than one million people have reached Greece and travelled to central and northern Europe from early 2017 until the winter of 2016 when the Balkan route closed.
Tens of thousands remained for months at a make shift camp set up next to the Idomeni border crossing in dire conditions, until late May 2016, when it was evacuated, and people were relocated to various facilities.
Despite the dramatic drop in numbers of new arrivals to Greece after the spring of 2016, dozens of people on a daily basis keep risking their lives to reach Greece from Turkey, hoping for a better future in Europe away from war-stricken zones and extreme poverty.
Almost 70,000 have been stranded in Greece since 2016, according to the Greek Migration Policy ministry.
