Turkish police launched simultaneous operations in Adana after the Chief Prosecutor’s Office had issued arrest warrants for 10 suspects, including doctors, teachers, and civil servants, who allegedly have links to the organization.

The suspects, who were taken into custody, were taken to the Adana Security Directorate after the health check.

Since May 2016, Turkey has classified the FETO organization as a terrorist organization under the assigned names Fethullahist Terrorist Organization and Parallel State Structure. 

After the failed coup attempt in 2016, the government of Turkey blamed the group for the coup and authorities have arrested thousands of soldiers and judges who have links to the organization. (ILKHA)
