local press report here claiming that Turkish military craft have
recently been spotted ferrying illegal immigrants in the eastern
Aegean by merely noting that "there is a constant briefing that is
taking place with everyone, and with Europe, and, of course, on a
bilateral basis with Turkey."
Bakoyannis also added that "we have proceeded with all relevant
demarches. This type of briefing will continue as long as there is a
problem (with illegal migration from Turkey to Greece), with is a
huge problem and is nothing new ... we will continue our efforts."
