Migrants include Palestinians and Afghans who were trying to reach Europe using illegal route

At least 26 undocumented migrants were held in northwestern Kirklareli province on Monday, according to a security source.

Gendarmerie held 26 people, including Palestinians and Afghans, in the province's Demirkoy and Kofcaz districts when they were trying to reach Europe using an illegal route, the source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media, said.

The undocumented migrants were referred to provincial migration authorities.

Turkey has been the main route for migrants trying to cross into Europe, especially since the beginning of the civil war in Syria.
