The first groups of migrants were
deported from Greece to Turkey on Monday as a deal between the
European Union and Ankara on easing the asylum-seeker crisis
came into effect.
Over 130 migrants, mostly Pakistani nationals, were taken
from the Greek island of Lesbos to Dikili in western Turkey.
Another 66 were dispatched from the island of Chios.
Under the deal the EU will accept a Syrian refugee for
every Syrian migrant returned to Turkey after a failed bid for
asylum.
Indeed, German media said a group of 35 Syrian refugees
landed in Hannover as part of the agreement.
