7 FETO linked suspects nabbed at the Turkey-Greece border

“Our border Eagles serving in the Ipsala and Meric districts of Edirne captured 7 people trying to cross illegally from our country to Greece. During the investigation, it was determined that the captured persons were members of the FETO terrorist organization,” the Ministry tweeted.

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)
