in #news6 years ago

At least 20 people, including five children, were killed in a sailing boat in Greece. A Reuters report quoted Greece Coastguard as saying. This saddest incident occurred on Saturday in Turkey near the Agathionisi island of Greece. There were 22 passengers on board. But they are not sure which country they are. The Greek Coast Guard is trying to rescue the survivors, authorities said.

Greece's immigration minister Dmitry Vriesas said in a press release that more than one hundred immigrants have been killed in the boat since 2015. This is the case of the death of the largest immigrant in Greece in the last month. Most of these immigrants come from Turkey. Dmitry Vriesas said, "We will not tolerate children drowning in the Aegean Sea. It needs a fair solution. Refugees and immigrants have to use safe roads to travel to Greece. This will stop the human trafficking. '
In another incident, Greece police said that two more people were killed and seven were wounded when they tried to drive away the illegal migrants from Greece police in northern Greece.
Turkey is in agreement with the European Union to prevent risky immigration in 2016. It is said in the agreement that illegal entry into Greece must be brought back to Turkey. Unless they can show the proper cause of the shelter.
