ANKARA (Sputnik) – The police operation was carried out in 11 Turkish provinces including Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Adana, Mersin and Gaziantep.
The detained people are accused of propaganda of terrorist ideas through social networks and providing support for terror groups.
Earlier on Monday, the Daily Sabah newspaper reported that Turkish law enforcers have detained 118 members of Turkey’s pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) following the attack in Istanbul.
On Saturday, two bombs exploded near the Vodafone Arena Stadium in the Turkish largest city, killing at least 44 people, mostly police officers, and injuring about 150. The country's authorities claimed that the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was tied with the twin blast.
