EDIRNE, Türkiye (AA) - Turkish authorities nabbed two Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) suspects who were trying to illegally flee to Greece from Türkiye, security sources said on Wednesday.
The FETO suspects, identified only by their initials O.K. and A.K., were detained in a prohibited zone in the Ipsala district of the northwestern Edirne province, said the sources, requesting anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
FETO orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016 in Türkiye, in which 251 people were killed and 2,734 injured.
Ankara accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
