2014-09-26 12:26:58 epa04425745 A photo released on 1 October 2014 illustrates an inflatable boat which passed illegally from the coast of Turkey in Mytilene carrying 34 immigrants from Syria, among them one woman and three children, ten miles from the city of Mytilene, on 26 September 2014. After a dangerous night journey on a boat which was in terrible condition, immigrants tear the inflatable boat while approaching the coasts of Mytilene to avoid their return in the Asia Minor coast. Immigrants began on September 17 from Damascus, Syria, fleeing from the war, a journey the final destination of which is a European country. Each one of them paid 1,200 euros to pass in Mytilene from the nearby coast of Turkey. The number of illegal immigrants entering the Aegean islands from the Turkey coasts has risen sharply after the construction of a wall in Evros Greek – Turkish borderline. In 2012, 3,000 immigrants passed illegally on the Greek islands from the Turkish coasts, 10,000 immigrants in 2013, while in 2014 the number is expected to exceed 15,000, 51% of them from Syria. According to the International Federation for Immigration, 3,072 immigrants drowned in 2014 in the Mediterranean trying to enter illegally into the European Union countries.
