MUGLA, Türkiye (AA) – The Turkish Coast Guard said Sunday that it rescued 57 irregular migrants in the Aegean Sea after Greek authorities pushed them back into Turkish territorial waters.

Coast guard units saved 35 irregular migrants from a rubber boat off Mugla province’s Bodrum district while 22 others were rescued off the province’s Datca district, said the Turkish Coast Guard in the statement.

The migrants were later transported to the provincial migration department.

Türkiye and global rights groups have repeatedly condemned Greece's illegal practice of pushing back asylum seekers, saying it violates humanitarian values and international law by endangering the lives of vulnerable migrants, including women and children.
