EDIRNE, Türkiye (AA) – Turkish security forces detained a suspected member of the PKK terrorist organization who was trying to flee to Greece, a security source said on Wednesday.

The suspect was apprehended in a restricted military zone in the northwestern province of Edirne, which borders Greece, the source told Anadolu on condition of anonymity.​

The suspect, identified by only its initials A. K., was wanted for "making terrorist propaganda.”

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
