SULAIMANI — The German foreign ministry said on Friday (October 29) that talks with Iraq and Jordan designed to stop flights taking migrants to Belarus were successful, according to Reuters.

Thousands of migrants from Iraq, the Kurdistan Region, and elsewhere have traveled to Belarus in an attempt to make it into the European Union. Thousands are currently stranded along the border as freezing winter temperatures begin to take hold.

Earlier this month, Poland said that it supported sanctions on airlines making the flights.
