Duhok, Kurdistan region (Iraq), --
Turkish authorities have handed over 200 illegal
immigrants to the authorities of the Kurdistan
autonomous region in Iraq, a security source on the
border said on Thursday.
The Kurds were reportedly trying to enter Turkey
illegally through the Ibrahim Khalil border
crossing, a source said.
Turkey is a popular transit point for young Kurdish
people from Iraq seeking asylum in Europe.
Kurdish border guard forces in Duhok arrested more
than 400 people during the past six months in
different parts near to the Iraqi Kurdistan-Turkish
borders for attempting to sneak into Turkey.
Duhok is the third province within Iraq's autonomous
Kurdistan region. It is in the far north of Iraq
with borders with Turkey.
