ERDOGAN’S PURGE: Turkey detains over 550 suspects in anti-terror sweep.

A total of 568 people have been arrested across Turkey on terrorism charges since Monday, the Interior Ministry announced on Tuesday.

Anti-terror operations, which began Monday, were carried out in 28 provinces to detain the suspects that included members of the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), who had allegedly participated in activities organized by the PKK terrorist organization and spread propaganda on its behalf, the ministry said in a statement.

The suspects included HDP officials from Adana, Balikkesir, Sanliurfa, Mersin, MAnisa, Eskisehir and Gaziantep.

How many of these arrests are actually connected to terrorism is impossible to know, because “anti-terror” is Erdogan’s Turkey is often just a cover for “anti-Kurd.”
