The counter-terrorism police and the intelligence officers conducted an operation in the eastern Van province and detained 31 IS suspects with many organization-related documents and digital materials, anonymous security officials told the agency.
In a separate operation, the Turkish police in Adana province detained three IS suspects and the operation continues, the agency reported.
