Three communists from Greece went to the Armutlu district of Hatay, one of the 10 provinces that suffered devastating damage as a result of the Maraş-centered earthquake on February 6.

The communist volunteers, who had been taking part in search and rescue efforts for four days, were taken into custody by the Turkish anti-terror police without citing any reason.

The Greek volunteers, named  Alexis, Tahsis and Mihail, were handed over to the Foreigners Department.
