Hundreds of illegal migrants seized in Turkey

Almost, everyday hundreds of illegal migrants are being captured by Turkish officials. Early Thursday another group of migrants were stopped in Turkey's western province of Çanakkale. Officials said, a total of 213 migrants including Syrians, Pakistanis and Afghans were captured.

Migrants were reportedly planning to escape to Greece's Lesbos Island. After being questioned, they were brought to the Foreigners Deportation Center.

Turkey's western coast, which brackets the Aegean Sea with Greece, an EU country, on the far side, is constantly receiving immigrants – especially from Syria – who are accompanied by their smugglers, abandoned by their smugglers, or simply left afloat to fend for themselves, on their journey which seemingly will lead them to a better standard of living in Europe. The immigrants are often charged an astronomical amount of thousands of dollars for the boat trip of their life, and usually abandoned after their traffickers receive their payment.
