Italian police have detained two suspected people smugglers after a boat carrying 230 migrants docked in the Sicilian port of Pozzallo. <br /><br />The migrants were picked up by a ship belonging to Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms. <br /><br />After taking statements from the migrants and watching a video of their rescue, police identified and detained a 20-year-old-man from Senegal and a 17-year-old Gambian. <br /><br />Due east in the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coastguard intercepted in two separate operations some 96 migrants attempting to reach Greece from the west coast of Turkey. <br /><br />Turkey has agreed to stem the record flow of migrants to Europe in exchange for billions of euros in aid from the European Union and the lifting of short-term visa requirements for Turkish citizens wishing to enter the bloc. <br /><br />Turkey is home to the world’s largest refugee population, housing some 2.7 million Syrians and 300,000 Iraqis.<br />
