Türkiye detains one of terrorist organisation leaders

Turkish law-enforcement agencies have detained one of the leaders of the DHKP/C terrorist organisation Gulten Matur in Istanbul.

The operation of detaining "the person responsible for the DHKP/C in Türkiye" was carried out in the metropolis through the National Intelligence Organisation’s support, the security sources in Ankara told Anadolu.

Matur accused of "involvement in an armed terrorist group" was wanted. She was preparing to flee abroad.

The Turkish Defence Ministry has disseminated the video footage of the work of artillerymen to kill terrorists, Caliber.Az reports citing the video footage posted on the ministry's Twitter page.

The Turkish armed forces have killed 16,913 militants in northern Syria as part of the anti-terrorist Operations Euphrates Shield, Olive Branch and Peace Spring over the past six years.

Ankara decided to conduct operations in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter (the right to self-defence), according to Anadolu.

The internally displaced people are returning to the region after the end of operations and when security was ensured.
