Turkey's state-run news agency says dozens of migrants attempting to reach Greece have drowned after their boat sank off the Turkish coast. The boat capsized in the Bay of Edremit, which is just a short distance away from the Greek island of Lesbos. The drownings came as Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel is visiting Ankara to discuss the migrant crisis with Turkish officials. (Ayhan Avci/Cihan News Agency via AP)
