The migrants were found hidden in the cargo area of a truck at a security checkpoint.
Two individuals suspected of migrant smuggling were also taken into custody.
The operation unfolded near the village of Asilbeyli, where gendarmerie and police teams attempted to stop two vehicles. A car and a van disregarded the stop signal and fled the scene, but were apprehended by security forces after a pursuit.
The migrants have been transferred to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management for processing. (ILKHA)
