The Turkish Coast Guard rescued 265 refugees over a 24-hour period, the military said Tuesday.
The refugees were collected off the Turkey's western coast of Mugla, Antalya, Izmir and Canakkale provinces on Monday, the Turkish General Staff said in a series of statements on its website.
The provinces, which face Greek islands in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, are prime points for refugees leaving Turkey for the EU.
