TITLE: Turkey's robust action against migrant
smuggling bears fruit
BEGIN TEXT: No vessels used Turkish waters to smuggle
migrants to Western countries in 2004, a clear
indicator of Turkey's success in preventing migrant
smugglers from entering its waters, says Interior
Ministry report.
Through national measures, exchange of information and
cooperation at an international level, Turkey has
determinedly been combating migrant smuggling, with
thousands of migrant smugglers and illegal migrants
apprehended last year in a series of operations carried
out by the country's security forces.
A total of 57,428 illegal migrants and 6,174 migrant
smugglers were captured in Turkey by security forces in
2005, according to a report on migrant smuggling and
human trafficking. The 17-page report was drafted by
the Interior Ministry to be submitted to European Union
countries.
Turkey is a transit, destination and also a source
country in the movement of illegal migrants, who
voluntarily leave their native countries due to poverty
and unemployment. Each year, thousands of illegal
migrants from Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern
Europe attempt to sneak into Turkey, an entry point to
more prosperous Western countries.
Since the early 1990s, Turkey has been a transit
country in the movement of illegal migrants from,
especially, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran and
Bangladesh. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union,
the country has been targeted by migrants from Romania,
Russia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus. Additionally,
Turkey is also a source country for Turkish citizens
who attempt to illegally enter Western countries.
As a result of the security forces' robust action,
particularly in 2000 and 2001, a decrease has been
observed in the number of illegal migrants using Turkey
and migration paths were diverted to other
international routes such as the Middle East, Caucasus
and Eastern Europe, the report said.
Turkey is situated at the crossroads of Asia, the
Middle East and Europe and borders eight countries.
Thus, the first step to fight human smuggling is
measures taken at border gates. Security officials
from the Interior Ministry, in addition to custom
officials, are in charge of border gates.
In the last six years, Turkish officials prevented
79,844 foreigners who were seen as suspicious or using
fake passports from entering Turkey, under the passport
law that was amended in accordance with EU legislation
to prevent illegal immigration, said the report.
As a country surrounded by 5,000 miles of coastline,
Turkey is targeted by illegal migrants using sea
routes. However, in recent years smugglers have
changed their sea routes because of Turkey's intense
efforts to prevent migrant smuggling in Turkish waters.
Thus, ships carrying illegal migrants from African
countries have begun using routes in Italian and French
waters and those migrant smugglers from Sri Lanka and
India use Greek Cyprus, Greece and Italy as their main
routes, according to information furnished in the
report.
The number of boats from Turkey carrying illegal
migrants to European destinations (mainly Italy and
France) has considerably decreased. The number was 19
vessels in 2000 and dropped to nine in 2001, two in
2002 and one in 2003. No vessels used Turkish waters
to smuggle migrants to Western countries in 2004, a
clear indicator of Turkey's success in preventing
smugglers from entering its waters, said the report.
In order to prevent migrant smuggling through sea
routes, Turkey has formed a list of boats and boat
operators that are likely to be involved in smuggling.
In case these boats enter Turkey's territorial waters,
they are taken under supervision of officials from the
Coast Guard Security Command.
This list is regularly updated, but there is also a
need for cooperation with the Greek government to
identify suspicious boats, said the report.
Illegal smuggling poses a threat to Turkey's social
order, its human and democratic values. For public
order and safety, it is vital to keep apprehended
illegal migrants in a shelter until they are deported.
The process of deportation sometimes lasts months.
This is a development that sometimes results in the
release of the migrants, some of whom later commit
crimes in the country such as theft and extortion.
In the last 10 years, a total of 310,501 undocumented
foreigners have been deported on grounds of being
involved in theft, extortion and smuggling and almost
YTL 8.5 million (approximately $7 million) has been
spent since 1999 for deportation transactions and for
providing illegal migrants with shelter until they are
deported, according to the report.
There are ongoing efforts to establish sheltering
centers to "temporarily keep captured illegal migrants
within the country," but Turkey believes that in order
to combat illegal smuggling in an effective manner, it
is crucial to send the migrants back to their home
countries, said the report.
As a major transit point in the movement of illegal
migrants on the East-to-West axis, Turkey has to deal
with this ever-increasing problem at both the
administrative and legal levels.
Combating migrant smuggling under a legal framework and
in compliance with international standards and norms is
among Turkey's top priorities. To this end, the
government adopted various international conventions
regarding the struggle against cross-border crimes.
With an amendment to the new penal code, which has been
in effect since June 2005, individuals involved in
illegal migration and human trafficking are subject to
severe prison sentences.
The report said, in conclusion, that every state has
the right to control its own borders and decide who can
enter the country or who cannot, but that migrant
smuggling is not a matter that can only be resolved
solely through security measures or border controls.
It does not look to eradicate the problem worldwide,
but suggests that it may be reduced, which is only
possible through international cooperation, according
to the report.
Human trafficking:
Victims of human trafficking, mostly women and
children, are enslaved, under pressure and often under
threat of death, which is different from the case of
illegal migrants.
Turkey is a destination country for women and girls -
usually between the ages of 15-26 - trafficked to
Turkey with the promise of jobs, but then forced into
prostitution. The vast majority of them come from the
former Soviet Union, with 60 percent of all cases from
two countries, Moldova and Ukraine.
The country has come a long way in a short period of
time in counter-trafficking and has made great strides
to combat this crime, raising public awareness and
introducing legal provisions to punish traffickers.
As part of Turkey's efforts in counter-trafficking,
some 495 individuals were identified as victims of
human trafficking in 2004 and 2005, said the Interior
Ministry report.
Turkey's efforts in this sphere, closely coordinated
with the International Organization for Migration
(IOM), include training provided to police and
gendarmerie officials about facts and characteristics
of human trafficking and how trafficking should be
handled, as well as providing the victims of human
trafficking with psychological support and
rehabilitation and ensuring their safe return.
The government has so far provided more than 30 victims
of human trafficking with "temporary residence
permits." Through legal regulations and amendments to
the new penal code, legal actions were taken in 2005
against 379 human traffickers, said the report.
However, human trafficking is a problem which has
international dimensions, so there is a need for
international cooperation to fight this crime.
Turkey has offered to sign cooperation protocols with a
number of source countries to jointly combat human
trafficking. In 2004, it signed a deal with Belarus
and in 2005 with Georgia and Ukraine. Turkey is
expected to conclude a series of protocols with
Romania, Moldova, Russia and Bulgaria, added the
report. END TEXT.

TITLE: International "slave" gang brought down
BEGIN TEXT: A network which brought women from abroad
under the guise of work and forced them into
prostitution has been brought down. The gang sold some
of the duped women like slaves to other pimps for 2,000
YTL (about 1800 USD) and forced the others into
prostitution while under strict control. It was
revealed that gang members referred to the women as
"cats," in case police were listening in. The alleged
gang leader, Ejder Toprak and 22 gang members, one of
them a woman, were arrested and the 55 women who were
forced to work were saved.
The Public Order Department put together a group of 100
civil police. To save the women and catch the
suspects, 17 houses and hotels in seven regions of
Istanbul were raided at the same time. An unlicensed
gun, 97 counterfeit 20 YTL banknotes and 500 grams of
narcotics were seized at Ejder Toprak's residence.
They gathered them with advertisements
According to officials, the gang worked like this:
they gave advertisements saying, "Wanted: Nannies,
models and barmaids to work in Turkey," to different
organizations involved in foreign work in Russia,
Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and Kazakhstan. Women who
applied were sent to Istanbul by plane. A well-dressed
person who told them he/she was the "employer" would
meet these women at the airport and take them to a
house by taxi.
Once inside the house, the women were told that they
would be prostitutes and their passports taken away.
Any woman who protested would be beaten without mercy
in front of the other women. Later these women were
given fake Republic of Turkey identification cards.
One night 100 dollars, one "cat" 2,000 YTL
It was determined that some of the women brought were
sold to traffickers for 2,000 YTL and the rest were
forced into prostitution, in return for $100-$150 a
night.
Officials determined that the gang prevented all
communication opportunities for these women, and among
themselves, the gang members referred to women as
"cats."
Three women who were kidnapped by the gang, but who
were later released in return for money, were found by
the police and they testified. These women identified
two captured gang members. END TEXT.
¶5. Reported by the Pak Tribune on Wednesday, February 22:
TITLE: Pak, Iran, Turkey, Greece sign agreement to
stop human trafficking
BEGIN TEXT: The Federal Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad
Sherpao said that the Interior Ministry has set up a
special task force for eradication of human
trafficking.
He said human trafficking is an international issue and
to this effect Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Greece have
signed an agreement to stop human trafficking, while
Afghanistan also wanted to join the agreement.
He further said that the government of Pakistan has
been able to trace the head of a gang, Arshad Warriach,
and his accomplice, Dilshad, in Athens. The gang is
allegedly involved in human trafficking.
He also assured that the government would take every
possible stop to curb human trafficking, and would try
all possible efforts to follow in spirit all the
proposals deliberated at the conference.
The representative of Canadian High Commissioner, John
¶J. Motranter, the Regional Representative of the
National Organization for Migration, Abdul Hassan Mony
Mustafa, and Federal Interior Secretary, Syed Kamal,
also addressed the conference.
Talking to journalists after the conference, Sherpao
said that the house detention of Qazi Hussain Ahmad was
carried out due to his aggressive statements, however
all the parliamentarians and other people would be
released soon.
He said the government wants to formulate a strategy
along with the opposition on following the derogatory
caricatures published in the European newspapers.
"We have given the permission to MMA to hold a protest
demonstration in at H-11 sector, but they were bent on
holding the procession at the Blue area," Sherpao said.

TITLE: "Cats" worked; he played
BEGIN TEXT: Ejder T., who is known as "Baron," is a
leader of an international prostitution gang that was
uncovered by the "Cat Operation" in Istanbul, and was
living in luxury with the money he earned from
trafficking in women.
Ejder T. was captured on Thursday during an operation
conducted by the Morality Police of the Law and Order
Department of the Turkish National Police. He brought
women from Moldova, Russian and Ukraine to Turkey by
promising them jobs. He forced these women into
prostitution. He used to spend the money he earned
from these women both in this country and abroad.
Ejder T. was detained three times earlier for
prostitution. He had many clients. Some famous names
were among the list of clients. Special services were
given to clients and each woman was available for
$1,000-$2,000 per night.
Ejder T's name was mentioned two years ago in
connection with a prostitution operation in Bodrum.
That operation was against Azeri citizen Afag D (42),
who was known as the empress of prostitution, and Ejder
¶T. was reportedly her link in Istanbul. END TEXT.
¶7. Published by Aksam on Thursday, February 23:
TITLE: Prostitution on the other side of the border
BEGIN TEXT: A gang which took nine Georgian women by
boat to Greece to force them into prostitution has been
captured. A neighborhood census keeper and a manager
of irrigation at a housing cooperative were members of
this international ring.
The Edirne Provincial Jandarma Command got word that
nine foreign women were practicing prostitution in a
hotel. In a planned raid on the hotel, nine Georgian
women were taken into custody. According to the
women's statements, they boated or kayaked across the
Meric River and entered Greece illegally, where,
starting in Athens, they worked in bars, nightclubs and
casinos as prostitutes. The women, who said they had
just returned from Greece, were waiting for the right
time to go back.
Women Freed
The gang members who took these Georgian women to
Greece included the hotel owner and businessman E.T.,
hotel worker S.B., Greek K.X.F., T.B., Ipsala Kumdere
Village Census keeper H.K., Ipsala-Pasakloy Cooperative
Irrigation Manager C.A.G. and B.E., E.K., I.A., T.Y.,
S.G. and S.K., who had four different outstanding
warrants for his arrest on human smuggling, were all
arrested.
Two vehicles that the gang used to smuggle people were
seized. Greek citizen V.I. was being sought and the
nine Georgian women were released after giving their
statements. The 12 suspects were charged with human
trafficking, human smuggling and drug smuggling. END

¶8. An Op-Ed written by Ambassador Wilson, published by
Zaman on Saturday, February 26:
BEGIN TEXT: Trafficking in Persons: A Human Tragedy
that Affects Us All
BEGIN TEXT: One of the most striking features of the
21st century is the extent to which the agenda has
become dominated by global issues.
In a world of instant communications, high-speed
travel, and burgeoning international trade, problems
that once were local or regional have become global.
We need look no further than avian influenza and global
terrorism to see that solving many problems today
requires broad, transnational cooperation among
governments, NGOs, and ordinary citizens. Trafficking
in persons is another global issue on which we must
work together to achieve a global solution.
Trafficking in persons is a crime. It is the
exploitation of one human being by another, through
sexual exploitation and forced labor. It is a kind of
modern-day slavery that violates fundamental rights of
freedom and human dignity.
Trafficking is a global scourge that affects nearly
every country in the world. It is a problem in the
United States. It is a problem in Turkey. According
to the International Organization for Migration (IOM),
Turkey has become a top destination for trafficking
because of its proximity to key source countries and
its level of prosperity relative to other countries in
the region.
Poverty is a driving force in trafficking. Most
victims in Turkey were earning less than $2 per day in
their home countries. One of every three victims in
Turkey is a mother who has fallen prey to traffickers
in an attempt to feed and clothe her children. The
devastating consequences - broken homes, long-term
separation, impoverishment, and hopelessness - ruin the
lives of mothers and the families they leave behind.
The good news is that many governments around the
world, including in Turkey, have taken important steps
to combat this problem. The signing of an anti-
trafficking protocol by Foreign Minister Gul and
Moldovan Foreign Minister Straton is recent evidence of
this. Turkey has also signed agreements with other
source countries to help facilitate international
cooperation against trafficking in persons.
Using funds provided by the United States, Turkey has
worked with the IOM to implement a toll-free helpline
that has brought immediate concrete benefits to
trafficking victims. The helpline, which came into
operation in May 2005, offers help to those who need
it. Anyone who is a victim of trafficking or knows a
victim of trafficking is urged to call "157." Trained
counselors stand ready to provide assistance round-the-
clock. To date, this hotline has received nearly one
thousand trafficking-related calls, and more than 50
people have been rescued from the degradation of human
trafficking and reunited with their families through
this service.
Earlier this month, the IOM launched a new counter-
trafficking campaign in Turkey entitled "Have You Seen
My Mother?" Commercial spots featuring Moldovan
children will air on television and in cinemas
throughout Turkey. Municipalities around the country
have put up posters and billboards to raise awareness
of the trafficking problem and to encourage citizens to
take action against traffickers. The IOM campaign
reminds us of the indispensable role the media can play
in educating our communities about the tragic results
of trafficking, and what can be done about it. Many
citizens throughout Turkey are acting to fight
trafficking and to rescue its victims.
I applaud the good work being done by the IOM, the
Turkish authorities, and other governments and NGOs on
this critical issue, and I admire the dedication of all
those who fight daily against trafficking in persons in
Turkey and around the world. Only by working together
can governments, with the support of their citizens,
end this insidious form of international crime and
restore the dignity of those who have become its
victims. END TEXT.

TITLE: Until now 238 women plucked from the mire
BEGIN TEXT: In order to save foreign women from forced
prostitution, a campaign entitled "Have you seen my
mother?" began 15 days ago, and, thanks to Selin
Arslan, many women have returned home.
Two hundred thirty-eight women forced into prostitution
have been saved from the quagmire thanks to the
cooperation of the International Organization for
Migration (IOM) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
which started the "157" helpline in May, 2005 and the
"Have you seen my mother?" campaign which began 15 days
ago. Most of the credit for getting this off the
ground goes to IOM Turkey Representative Selin Arslan.
Arslan works night and day to save women from
prostitution. She evaluates each telephone call one by
one. According to Arslan, the reason why these women
fall into the quagmire in our country is the ease in
obtaining visas. Arslan explained how women are saved,
"We put information about the 157 helpline in passports
at airports. We leave the informational brochures at
cafes and hotels. Because of these measures, they call
us. When they call, we send the police. We get
replacements to the passports that were taken from
them."
Three thousand victims in Turkey
According to the IOM report, 40 percent of the
trafficked women are found in Istanbul, 16 percent in
Ankara and 16 percent in Antalya. The average age of
the women is between 19 and 25. Sixty-seven percent of
trafficked women in Turkey are from Moldova.
Women saved from prostitution explain
The police saved her in half an hour.
Only 21 years old, Moldovan S.Z. came to Kusadasi
hoping to be a waitress, and fell into the prostitution
quagmire. S.Z. talks about those bad days and says,
"They kept me in a hotel for one month. They said I
owed them for the visa fees. They started selling us.
I called the Moldovan helpline. They forwarded me to
the 157 helpline. Half an hour after I called, the
police came and saved us.
I got beat up every night
T.O., who is divorced with two daughters, is another
victim. Straight from T.O.'s mouth is what happened to
her: "I came to Antalya to be a waitress. They took
me straight from the airport to a hotel and locked me
in. They took my passport. They kept beating me. One
time they put me and six customers in a room. A friend
of mine saw a brochure on the 157 helpline and took it.
I called and they saved me and my friends.
They even asked me for my cigarette money
A young Romanian woman who worked as a cook and who
came to Turkey to earn more money explained: "I was
told that I would work as a dancer in Ankara, but they
made me a hostess in a bar. The minute I heard about
the 157 helpline, I called. The operators coordinated
with the police and eight Romanian women and I were
rescued." END TEXT.
