Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Tuesday that 282 people were detained, including journalists, opposition politicians and academics, within a broad nationwide sweep of people Turkiye accuses of “terror”.
Meanwhile, Ankara is seeking to revive peace talks with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) – designated as a terror group by Turkiye and its Western allies – that have been frozen for a decade, a process that began in October when a nationalist political party reached out to jailed PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan.
