Two suspects connected to the FETO terrorist organization and 23 irregular migrants were arrested in Edirne, Türkiye, as they tried to flee illegally to Greece. The counterterrorism branch of the Provincial Security Directorate stopped a minibus near the border gate after receiving a tip-off.
During the search, authorities found the two FETO suspects and 23 irregular migrants on board, ready to cross the border. They also discovered and seized two boats that were with the suspects, which were likely intended for the illegal crossing.
