#Checkpoints erected to prevent Syrian migrants from entering İzmir
Syrian migrants who are attempting to enter İzmir in preparation for journeys to Greece are increasingly being prevented from reaching the Aegean Sea, while others already there are being gathered in a stadium.
The İzmir Governor’s Office has launched efforts together with Turkey’s Interior Ministry Migration Management Directorate and the Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) to find ways in which they can reduce the numbers of Syrian migrants in the city after refugees began to flock to the city more intensively in the past month, finding space especially in the Basmane district and parks across the city.
One of the measures is to set up checkpoints on the main roads coming to İzmir, where police are stopping and searching suspicious-looking vehicles.
