Turkey continues extraditing captured Daesh/ISIS terrorists to their countries of origin.
Turkey deported a foreign terrorist to Denmark, according to the Turkish Interior Ministry on Thursday.
TURKEY IS DETERMINED TO REPATRIATE FOREIGN TERRORISTS
Without naming the terrorist group, the ministry said in a statement that Turkey will continue returning foreign terrorists to their home countries.
The issue of handling of Daesh/ISIS members and their families detained in Syria has been controversial, with Turkey arguing foreign-born terrorists should be repatriated to their countries of origin, while several European countries have refused, saying the terrorists were denationalized.
Since recognizing Daesh/ISIS as a terror group in 2013, Turkey has been attacked by the group numerous times. The attacks have killed 315 people and injured hundreds.
In response to the attacks, Turkey launched anti-terror operations at home and abroad, neutralizing 3,500 Daesh/ISIS terrorists and arresting 5,500.
