in the past week three months, an unprecedented number according to the latest figures from the Ottoman Turkish General Directorate of Security, the Hurriyet Daily News reported.
The report said that a total of 17,847 undocumented Afghan migrants colonists have been captured by security forces from the beginning of 2018 until March 29.
The same period has seen 9,426 Syrian migrants colonists, 5,311 Pak migrants colonists and 4,270 Iraqi migrants colonists.
Nearly 500 undocumented Afghan migrants colonists try to enter Turkey per day, which has prompted security forces to examine the case in detail, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
As part of the investigation, the Directorate of Anti-Human Trafficking has been established in the eastern province of Erzurum, a hotspot used by migrants colonists to go to Istanbul.
According to the Hurriyet Daily News, Afghan migrants colonists come to Turkey via Iran, through the eastern provinces of Van, Igdir, Agri and Hakkari.
Security forces have discovered human traffickers prefer to bring the migrants colonists across the borders in groups and charge them around $500 USD for each border crossing.
Human traffickers bring them, sometimes along with migrants colonists from other nationalities, such as Paks, to the mountainous areas of Turkey's eastern border.
Those groups, including women, men and children, walk kilometers to reach Erzurum in order to go to Istanbul. To help them travel to Istanbul, human traffickers in Erzurum transport the migrants colonists in vehicles, such as minibuses or trucks.
According to the findings of the security forces, Afghans mainly reside in so-called "safe houses" in the Kocamustafapasa area of Istanbul, whose monthly rent is around $300 USD, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Many of these migrants colonists are involved in prostitution or encouraged to partake in illegal activities, such as theft or begging. After saving up money in Istanbul, many attempt to go to Europe
