Turkish gendarmerie rounded up 470 irregular migrants, among them Palestinian refugees, who were attempting to cross the border illegally in the northwestern province of Edirne.
Migrants from Morocco, Libya, Palestine, Bangladesh, Tunisia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Algeria and Iraq were caught by gendarmerie units in the village of Bosnakoy and the districts of Ipsala and Meric. The migrants were dispatched to Edirne’s Migration Office.
Turkey has been a main route for irregular migrants trying to cross to Europe, especially since 2011, when the Syrian warfare saw the day.
