Turkish authorities have intercepted over 1,500 irregular migrants attempting to illegally enter and exit Turkey.
The Defence Ministry said on Tuesday that the Five Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) members attempting to cross into Greece were detained in western Edirne province.
The Daily Sabah reports that many senior members of the terrorist group left Turkey before the 2016 coup attempt.
Greece has been the favourite gateway for suspects linked to the group, though most prefer land routes in Turkey's northwest.
The European country attracted more FETÖ fugitives following its refusal to extradite soldiers involved in the 2016 coup attempt on Turkey after they hijacked a military helicopter and took shelter in Greece.
Over 8,000 FETÖ members have crossed into Greece in the past few years, according to authorities.
