The Turkish Defense Ministry has reported the capture of three individuals while attempting to cross the border illegally from Turkey to Greece.

The ministry made this announcement through its official social media account and revealed that all three of the detained individuals are associated with the FETÖ organization.

FETÖ, an acronym for the Fethullah Terrorist Organization, is a label employed by the Turkish government to characterize a group led by Fethullah Gülen.

The Turkish authorities have accused FETÖ of being a terrorist organization that infiltrated various institutions and made an attempt to overthrow the government during the 2016 coup.

In response to these allegations, the Turkish government has pursued a series of actions aimed at curtailing the activities of FETÖ.

This has involved the closure of educational institutions, businesses, and media outlets linked to the organization.

Furthermore, thousands of individuals have been arrested on charges of affiliations with FETÖ, as part of the government's ongoing crackdown. (ILKHA)
