Ankara, September 18 (Xinhua) — Turkish Gendarmerie has detained 51 people suspected of links to the Islamic State (IS) group during a major counterterrorism operation over the past two weeks, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced on Thursday.
The suspects are accused of ISIS membership, financing so-called aid organizations linked to the group, and spreading terrorist propaganda on social media, A. Yerlikaya stated on the X social media platform, adding that the operations were carried out in 34 provinces.
According to him, several organizational documents and digital materials were seized during the raids.
“We continue our operations day and night, 365 days a year, to ensure peace and stability in every region of our country,” the minister said.
In 2013, Turkey designated ISIS a terrorist organization, blaming it for a series of deadly attacks in the country. Since then, Ankara has been conducting counterterrorism operations aimed at combating ISIS members and their activities both domestically and internationally.
