BALIKESIR/EDIRNE - Turkish security forces arrested 15 illegal migrants in northwestern cities of Balikesir and Edirne, sources said on Friday.
Sources stated that security forces, acting on a tip-off, arrested 10 Afghans in Balikesir's Edremit town who wanted to sneak into Greek island of Lesbos.
On the other hand, two Algerians, one Moroccan, one Palestinian and one Mauritanian were detained in Edirne who wanted to cross Turkish-Greek border illegally.
The illegal migrants will be deported once legal proceedings are completed.
