'The plane is going to Turkey,' said the official. 'But don't tell the refugees. They might refuse to get on.'

Article Abstract:

Macedonia is determined to rid itself as soon as possible of the ethnic Albanians who have flooded across its border with Kosovo, Yugoslavia. Many of the refugees have already been flown out of Macedonia, mainly to Turkey. The refugees were not told where they were being taken, and they have no idea whether they will ever be able to return to their homes. There has been considerable international concern about the way in which the refugees are being treated by the Macedonian authorities.
