The Turkish Coast Guard announced Sunday that it rescued 28 irregular migrants in the Aegean Sea.
Coast guard units rescued the irregular migrants from a rubber boat off Seferihisar district in Izmir province.
Türkiye has been a key transit point for irregular migrants who want to cross into Europe to start new lives, especially those fleeing war and persecution.
The country, which already hosts 4 million refugees, more than any other country in the world, is taking new measures at its borders to prevent a fresh influx of migrants.
