• ‘The New York Times’ published a descriptive article about migrants reaching Greece from Turkey by boat. According to coast guards the boats are often driven by Turkish youngsters, 16-17-years-old, who cannot be prosecuted under Greek law. They are deported back to Turkey just to drive another boat the next time. It also mentions that *smugglers often ‘burst the dinghies’ *expecting the coast guards to rescue the migrants.
