In a rare statement, Turkey’s Directorate General of Migration Management on Tuesday released statistics on “foreign terrorist fighters” deported from Turkey. It did not disclose how many of these fighters were members of which organization, but almost all of them are believed to be jihadist fighters who went to Syria to fight.
Wording specifically targeting the US and EU were included in the statement issued by the directorate general, part of the Ministry of Interior.
According to the statement, a total of 9,000 foreign terrorist fighters from 102 countries, of which 1,168 were from the US and EU countries, have been deported since 2011, as a result of “the work carried out for Turkey’s security within and across the border.” The fact that the number of deported fighters is exactly 9,000 raises doubts about the accuracy of the statistics.
The directorate general explained that these people are foreign terrorist fighters who came from their home countries to join terrorist organizations such as the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS or DAESH).
The statement emphasized that the largest group among the deportees comprised citizens of EU countries. According to the directorate general, a total of 1,109 foreign terrorist fighters from EU member states and 59 from the United States have been deported since 2011….
