Baku, April 25, AZERTAC
Turkish security forces have detained 210 individuals suspected of links to the Islamic State (IS) in recent nationwide operations, Xinhua reported citing Türkiye's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya.
The operations were conducted over the past two weeks across 49 provinces, including Ankara and Istanbul, Yerlikaya said on social media platform X.
"Unity, solidarity, and cooperation against terrorism are our greatest strengths," Yerlikaya said, adding that operations will continue uninterrupted to ensure public safety.
The Turkish government designated the IS as a terrorist organization in 2013, and Turkish police have been regularly conducting counter-terrorism operations against its members across the country.
