Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Wednesday that 130,000 migrants had already passed the Turkish-Greek border in the Balkans and that they must be stopped as far south as possible.

"It won't be enough to defend the Greek-Turkish border," Orban told a news conference of the leaders of the Visegrad Four countries of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. "As a last resort ... we will defend Europe's external border."
