“Almost 30 Syrian refugees who had their initial bids for asylum in Greece rejected have been returned to Turkey.
Greek officials said the 17 men, four women and six children were flown from the island of Lesbos to Adana on Thursday.
Under a deal struck last March between the European Union and Turkey, migrants reaching the Greek islands from Turkey are returned unless they can prove they merit asylum in Greece.
More than 800 people have now been returned under the agreement, while about 23,000 new arrivals have reached the Greek islands.”
