Yazidis, Crossing Turkish Border, Head To Villages Illegally

A group of Yazidis, who crossed Turkish borders illegally using the smugglers' route, began to reside in the nearby villages by tractors of local people.

Fleeing the ruthless attacks of Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL), Yazidis continuing to come to Turkey generally via illegal ways as most of them don have passport or even ID cards. Turkish locals provide full support to Yazidis who arrive in Turkey after a troublesome journey through mountainous areas. Villagers take arriving groups from the borderline by tractors and help them to find shelter in nearby villages.
