Turkey will send captured Islamic State members back to their home countries, Turkey’s Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said Saturday.
Soylu lashed out at European governments for their refusal to take back nationals who joined the group. “That is not acceptable to us. It’s also irresponsible,” he said according to Reuters. “We will send the captured Daesh [ISIS] members to their countries.”
EU governments have been at odds over whether to repatriate people who went to Syria and Iraq to fight with the Islamic State group. France has advocated bringing the fighters home to face justice. Germany has opted to leave its nationals in the hands of Kurdish fighters and has only repatriated some children and women.
However, many fighters have escaped from Kurdish camps since Turkey launched a military incursion in Northern Syria and some have been re-captured by Turkish forces.
