KAHRAMANMARAS, Turkey (AA) - Gendarmerie forces seized over 1,000 historical objects in an operation in Turkey's Mediterranean province of Kahramanmaras on Friday.

A total of 1,006 metallic coins and 137 other objects believed to be from Byzantine and Roman periods were seized.
Legal action was launched against the suspect identified by the initials Y. M.
