Turkey has deported two alleged terrorists to Germany. In a tweet of the Interior Ministry was the speech of "terrorist fighters" with German citizenship. More information - such as the concrete allegations against the deportation candidates or their destination - is the ministry usually not known.
Turkey has been postponing people with alleged ties to terrorist organizations to their home countries for a few weeks now. She had begun an offensive against the Kurdish militia YPG on October 9 in the Syrian-Turkish border area, which she considers a terrorist organization. During the military offensive, 287 supporters of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia were also arrested, including women and children.

At the beginning of December, the Home Office reported that Turkey had sent 59 people back to their homelands in about three weeks with suspected links to terrorist organizations. Among them are 26 American and European citizens. People were also deported to Germany.
The state news agency Anadolu reported this Monday of a total of 71 deported foreign "terrorist fighters". Accordingly, among them until then 18 Germans have been. An IS returnee was arrested last week at Frankfurt Airport immediately after her arrival, and her four children were placed in the care of the youth welfare office.
The information from Turkey should be treated with caution, because apparently also the number of children, who are deported in the company of their families, is included in the statistics. This Monday, Turkey reported the deportation of eleven "terrorist fighters" to France. It was reportedly four wives of suspected jihadists and their seven children.
