Turkey arrests alleged Gulen supporters for trying to flee to Greece
Many supporters of the outlawed Gulen movement have tried to enter Greece since the crackdown against them in Turkey following the 2016 coup.
Turkish authorities arrested a group of people for allegedly seeking to enter Greece illegally Thursday, and accused some of them of belonging to the outlawed Gulen movement.
Turkish border police arrested five people in Meric near the Greek border. The police said four of them belonged to the Gulen movement, according to a tweet from the Turkish Defense Ministry.
