Turkey says it will begin sending captured ISIS militants to home countries
Turkey will begin to repatriate captured ISIS militants to their home countries as of Monday, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu was quoted as saying by state media on Friday.
Turkey has long criticized its European allies for refusing to take back ISIS fighters who are their citizens, and on Monday warned that Ankara would send captured extremists back to their countries even if their citizenships have been revoked.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.
