azatutyun.am The Turkish Ministry of Interior announced today that 199 people suspected of having links to the "Islamic State" group have been arrested in various regions of the country.
"During a police operation conducted against the DAESH terrorist organization in 30 provinces, 199 suspects have been arrested," the ministry reported, using another name for the "Islamic State" jihadist group. Operations were also carried out in Istanbul and Ankara.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the charges against the arrested individuals include membership in the "Islamic State" group, disseminating the group's propaganda materials on social media, as well as financing the group through intermediaries or so-called "charitable" organizations.
In late June, Turkish police killed a man suspected of having links to the "Islamic State" during a shootout in the south of Ankara, two weeks before the NATO summit in the capital.
Subsequently, under the directive of the Chief Prosecutor of Ankara, 209 people have been arrested on suspicion of having links to the "Islamic State" or extreme left groups.
