Greece Says Blocks Hundreds Of Migrants From Crossing Aegean

Greece said on Monday it had prevented around 600 migrants from crossing the Aegean into its territorial waters from neighbouring Turkey, in the largest attempted entry this year.

A spokesman for the Greek coastguard said five sail boats and four dinghies had set off from the Turkish coast early in the morning.

"Greek patrol vessels were able to quickly locate the vessels and inform the Turkish coastguard," the spokesman told AFP.

All the vessels either headed back or were intercepted, he added.

"All the incidents occurred inside Turkish territorial waters" between the Greek islands of Chios and Samos, he said.
