A Gendarmerie team boarded the Ankara-Kars "Doğu Expresi"
train at Üzümlü in Erzincan province and checked passengers'
ID cards.  In one train car all the passengers were foreigners -
41 individuals from Afghanisan and Pakistan, two of whom
were women and 3 children.



All of the individuals had bought tickets at Kars, using Turkish
immigration office documents that turned out to be fake.  They
were all taken off the train and sent to a sports arena for
deportation processing.


Migrants were caught at Üzümlü, east of Erzincan city.
