On 8 November, diplomats from Turkey and Greece met to resolve long-standing issues. Migrants and asylum seekers are a source of high tension between the two countries. Greece wants Turkey to crack down on smugglers, but no compromise has been reached.
On 6 November, the bodies of three men and a woman were found near Rhodes, while 25 people from the same boat were found alive on land. The passengers, who had come from Turkey, were forced to jump and swim ashore by the smuggler driving the boat.
