Cellular and GPS information helps to establish the route through the Aegean Sea from Turkey to the shores of Greece, as well as receive help from volunteers from the Arab diaspora, who can contact the Coast Guard in case of dangerous situations, Gazeta.ru reports with reference to the television channel Al-Arabiya.
