The Turkish Coast Guard rescued 33 asylum seekers stranded on an island in the Aegean Sea, a security source said on Wednesday.
The asylum seekers were trying to cross to Greece by a rubber boat but got stranded on the Gunes Island located off the coast of Ayvalik district in Turkey’s northwestern Balikesir Province, Anadolu Agency reported.
They were rescued and transferred to a local coast guard command, the source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
