The Turkish Coast Guard Command was alerted to the presence of irregular migrants on two dinghies off the coast of a district, according to a statement on their website. A team was dispatched to the area in response to the information.
A total of 36 irregular migrants, including 2 children, who had been pushed into Turkish territorial waters by Greek elements, were rescued and brought ashore. The migrants were then taken to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management after the necessary procedures were completed.
The incident highlights the ongoing issue of irregular migration in the region, with many migrants risking their lives in dangerous sea crossings in search of a better future. It also underscores the importance of cooperative efforts between countries to address this complex issue.
The Turkish authorities have been actively patrolling the waters to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety of migrants. However, the challenges posed by irregular migration continue to persist, requiring a comprehensive and coordinated approach to effectively manage the situation.
The rescued migrants will now go through the necessary legal processes before their eventual fate is determined. The authorities will work to identify and support those in need while also enforcing laws to maintain the security and integrity of the borders.
Overall, the successful rescue operation serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle to address irregular migration in the region and the need for international cooperation to find sustainable and humane solutions to this complex issue. Efforts will continue to manage and mitigate the risks associated with irregular migration, while also upholding the rights and dignity of migrants.
