Turkish government deported 138 Afghan migrants to their home country as part of its efforts to tackle illegal immigration.
A charter flight from Ighdir Airport carried out the deportation. As more undocumented immigrants try to enter Turkey illegally, the country is forced to take this action.
Turkish authorities have promised to keep up extradition efforts to address the issues of illegal immigration, demonstrating their dedication to safeguarding their borders and tackling the problems caused by illegal immigration.
The current condition of Afghan immigrants seeking shelter in neighbouring nations is worsened by Turkey’s recent expulsion of 138 Afghan asylum seekers. Iran and Turkey, dealing with their own immigration issues, have increased their deportation efforts and taken steps to reduce illegal immigration.
Recently, close to 230 Afghan migrants have been deported from different cities in Turkey, according to officials.
Out of the 124,441 illegal migrants deported by Turkey in the previous year, the General Directorate of Migration earlier reported that 68,290 of them were Afghan asylum seekers.
According to the General Directorate of Migration, 68,290 Afghan citizens, 12,511 Pakistanis, and immigrants from other countries were deported from Turkey in the preceding year. The migration office of the Turkish government asserts that it would deport more unauthorized immigrants and asylum applicants this year, including 227 Afghan nationals.
Thousands of Afghans have fled to neighbouring countries since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in August 2021 due to fear of being prosecuted, killed or physically harassed.
“demonstrating their dedication to safeguarding their borders and tackling the problems caused by illegal immigration”
It sounds like somebody gets it....
Good move by Turkey. That’s a drop-in-the-bucket but it’s a start.
“..government deported 138 Afghan migrants to their home country as part of its efforts to tackle illegal immigration..”
How will we deport the millions of illegal alien border-crossers and visa overstays? It must be done!!
Guess where they’ll end up.
Before you round them up, you have to make sure their Country of origin will take them back……because they've been saying, “NO”.
Even the Muslims don’t want illegal muslims...
That’s how u protect a border
That would be a good start for America.
Well, look at that. It can be done.
Taliban will see they don’t leave again...
