Ari Jalal, director of the "Summit" Foundation for Refugee and Displaced Affairs in Iraq, told Shafaq News Agency; " last Thursday, at 0900 p.m., a boat carrying 45 refugees has sunk near the island of Crete, as they were planning to travel from
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...to Italia."
Jalal added; "The Greek authorities rescued 37 refugees and deported them to the Greek city of Karpathos, and the fate of 8 other refugees is not known so far." He continued, "According to the information I obtained, some of the refugees are from Iraqi Kurds."
It is noteworthy that the migration of young people continues from Iraq, especially in the Kurdistan Region, due to the economic and political crises.

Thirty-seven people, mostly from Syria and Iraq, were picked up in adverse weather conditions after the boat went down on Thursday near international waters near the Greek island, Greek port police told AFP.
Five of them were taken by helicopter to the Greek island of Karpathos on Thursday while 30 others -- including a woman and a child -- were transported to the Greek town of Ierapetra in southeast Crete, an AFP photographer reported.
Friday's search operations were hampered by gale-force winds, Greek port police said.

...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms.

In June, EU leaders approved plans to give Turkey another 3 billion euros ($3.6 billion) over the next few years for assistance to Syrian refugees and to help boost border controls.
The new funding plan is part of a range of incentives that the bloc is using to try to keep Erdogan on side, with Brussels also offering to modernise a customs union with Turkey and start high-level talks on issues from health to security.
But Turkey responded to the proposal saying the idea that money is enough to solve migration is "a big delusion", urging greater cooperation with the EU to tackle the issue on other levels.
Ankara has repeatedly said it wants a review of the 2016 deal in a fashion that "responds to the needs of the day and common interests".
