New Turkish unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) footage shows a Greek Coast Guard ship in the Aegean Sea illegally pushing back a boat of asylum seekers, including women and children, according to Turkish defense sources. The April 2 footage captured by the National Defense Ministry shows Greek Coast Guard boats forcing some 20-25 asylum seekers in inflatable boats north of the Greek island of Rhodes into Turkish territorial waters, said the sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
