Turkish Coast Guard Command units rescued 229 illegal migrants who were pushed back by the Greek coast guard in the Aegean Sea on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acting on a tip, the Turkish coast guard rescued at least 102 irregular migrants on a rubber boat who were pushed into Turkish territorial waters by the Greek authorities off the district of Çe\u00c5\u0178me in Izmir province, a statement by the coast guard said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the district of Dikili, also in Izmir, Turkish teams rescued 59 more irregular migrants in a rubber dinghy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, the coast guard also saved a total of 68 irregular migrants off the Çe\u00c5\u0178me and Dikili districts when they asked for help due to engine failure in their boats.<\/span><\/p>\n

All migrants were transferred to the provincial migration office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hundreds of people have died at sea as many boats carrying refugees sank or capsized. The Turkish Coast Guard Command has rescued thousands of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turkey and Greece are key transit points for migrants looking to cross into Europe, fleeing war and persecution to start new lives. Turkey has accused Greece of large-scale pushbacks, summary deportations and denying migrants access to asylum procedures, which is a violation of international law. Ankara also accuses the European Union of turning a blind eye to this blatant abuse of human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pushbacks are considered contrary to international refugee protection agreements, which dictate that people should not be expelled or returned to a country where their life and safety might be in danger due to their race, religion, nationality or membership in a social or political group.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
