Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu says there are 'less than 700 terrorists in Turkey' as security agencies aggressively target FETO and the PKK terror groups
Turkish security forces arrested 641 FETO suspects out of a total of 1,112 sought in counter-terrorism operations on February 12, 2019.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Anadolu Agency’s Editor’s Desk, Suleyman Soylu said: “There are less than 700 terrorists in Turkey. The [terrorist] entry into the country is so little, as well. 12 people entered [Turkey] since January. We are taking serious measures at our borders.” The trolls shared a video with Arabic subtitles 'Interior Minister Soylu threatens everyone who criticises Turkey and the tourists.'
The trolls falsely attributed quotes to Soylu such as: “Don’t think that this issue will end like this. Those who oppose Turkey abroad and then plan holidays in the Mediterranean cities and Antalya will be arrested. Files have been prepared against them by police at the airports."
