4 FETO-linked suspects nabbed near Turkey-Greece border, Turkish Defense Ministry says

“Our Border Eagles serving in the Edirne province caught 4 persons trying to cross into Greece illegally. As a result of the investigation, it was determined that the captured persons are the 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)
