Turkey rescues 95 drowning refugees pushed back by Greece
2023-09-08
[KhaamaPress] The Ottoman Turkish Coast Guard has announced that they rescued 95 refugees, including 39 Afghan refugees, off the coast of Ayvacik in Chanakkale.

Ottoman Turkish media outlets reported on Saturday that these refugees had been pushed towards Ottoman Turkish waters by the Greek Coast Guard.
In other words, Turkey had released them to continue their journey to Europe, but Greece returned them to sender.
The Ottoman Turkish Coast Guard emphasized that among the 95 rescued refugees, 39 were Afghan and 54 were Iranian citizens.

According to sources, these refugees were transferred to the "Ayvacik Foreigners’ Transfer Center" after going through legal procedures.

Previously, the Ottoman Turkish Coast Guard had reportedly rescued at least 23 Afghan refugees from drowning in the waters near Chanakkale.

This comes when the illegal migration of Afghan citizens and the deportation of refugees have increased. Reports indicate that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
deported over 10,000 Afghan refugees in 2023, while more than 300,000 refugees live in Turkey.

Since the Taliban

took control of Afghanistan, many people have left the country due to concerns about persecution, insecurity, threats, and a lack of economic opportunities and jobs. Most Afghan refugees relocate to neighbouring countries like Iran, Pakistain, and Turkey.

Upon arriving at their destination, Afghan refugees often encounter significant challenges. These challenges include issues related to documentation and legal documents, the risk of deportation, and experiences of mistreatment and misbehaviour.
