‎The Turkish police have arrested more than 200 suspected members of the Islamic State group and outlawed far-left organisations, ahead of next month’s North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, summit.

‎Officials made this known this Tuesday, saying 209 suspects were detained in the capital, Ankara, while 32 others were yet to be captured.

‎Authorities say 185 of those arrested are suspected members of several far-left groups designated as terrorist organisations by the government.

‎The arrests are part of wider security measures ahead of the NATO summit scheduled to hold on July 7 and 8 in Ankara.
