EU-Turkey migrant-crisis deal kicks in

(ANSA) - Rome, April 4 - 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.
