Turkey agreed
with the European Union to take back all migrants and refugees
who cross the Aegean to enter Greece illegally. The pact has
been criticized by the United Nations, aid organizations and
human rights groups.
Two Turkish passenger boats carrying 136 mostly Pakistani
migrants arrived from the island of Lesbos in the Turkish town
of Dikili on Monday, the day the deal went into effect.
