The migrants were found on a rubber boat that was drifting in the Aegean Sea. They were reportedly abandoned by Greek forces after their boat was intercepted.

The Turkish Coast Guard teams brought the migrants to shore and provided them with medical attention.

They were then taken to the Ayvacık Foreigners' Repatriation Center, where they will be processed for deportation. (ILKHA)
