32 Turks rescued in Greek waters

The group was spotted in an rubber dinghy off the Greek island of Oinousses, overnight Thursday to Friday, the coastguard told AFP. Greek media said the 32 Turks are opponents of Erdogan's Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) and would be seeking asylum in Greece.
