Turkish Coast Guard Rescues 53 Migrants Off Aegean Sea

The Turkish Coast Guard saved 53 irregular migrants from the Aegean Sea on Thursday.

The migrants departed Bodrum, a Turkish district in Muğla province in the country’s southwest when Coast Guard arrived at the scene.

Turkish media outlets reported that the boat was “pushed back” to Turkish waters by Greece.

The migrants were then taken to the local directorate of migration.

In the past weeks, security forces have discovered 256 migrants who illegally entered Turkey.

The migrants were referred to the local migration authority for likely deportation.
