In a statement, the ministry said a total of 15 people were caught by Turkish border guards, including two suspected members of the PKK terror group and eight members of the Fetullah Terrorist Organisation , the group behind the defeated 2016 coup in Türkiye.FETO orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, in Türkiye, in which 251 people were killed and 2,734 injured.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US, and the EU – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
