Turkish gendarmerie forces detained 26 suspects linked to the Daesh terror organization during coordinated operations across 14 provinces, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced on Saturday.
The operations targeted individuals suspected of Daesh membership, conducting propaganda activities for the terror group, and providing financial support to alleged aid organizations affiliated with the extremist organization, according to Yerlikaya's social media statement.
The anti-terror operations were conducted across 14 provinces, including the capital Ankara and the country's largest city Istanbul. Gendarmerie forces seized numerous organizational documents and digital materials during the raids.
"Our fight against terrorism is not limited to the field operations of our law enforcement forces; it is based on a multidimensional state reflex that encompasses security, intelligence, communication, and international cooperation," Yerlikaya said, thanking those who contributed to the operation.
The Interior Minister emphasized that Türkiye's counterterrorism efforts extend beyond traditional law enforcement methods, incorporating intelligence gathering, communications monitoring, and international collaboration.
