The immigration agreement will facilitate Greece’s ability to return irregular migrants who enter Greece from Turkey. Pursuant to the agreement Turkey will designate a port in or near Izmir within three months as the location to which irregular migrants may be returned by Greece. Turkey also agreed to accept up to 1,000 readmission requests per year.
