Migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran were transported by a ship that sank on Saturday in Lake Van, in the east of the country. The cause was a strong storm. As many as 60 people who tried to get further into Europe most likely died.
According to the AP agency, the search operation is already taking place on the fourth day. On Tuesday, rescuers found five helpless bodies, and on Wednesday found another victim in the water. Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said police had detained 11 suspects in connection with the tragedy.
The smuggling ship sank on the lake last December, when seven refugees died. The water area is popular among migrant smugglers because it is not guarded by the police.
