ANKARA (Dispatches) – Turkey will begin to repatriate captured Daesh terrorists to their home countries as of Monday, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu is quoted as saying by state media.
Turkey has long criticized its European allies for refusing to take back Daesh terrorists who are their citizens, and on Monday warned that Ankara would send captured terrorists back to their countries even if their citizenships have been revoked.
"We are telling them: ‘We’ll repatriate these people to you’, and we are starting as of Monday,” the state-run Anadolu news agency quoted Soylu as saying.
