A total of nine people with suspected links to the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) were captured Thursday near Turkey's border with Greece.
Security forces in Edirne, a northwestern city bordering Greece, caught the suspects during traffic control in the district of Enez.
Turkish media reported that the suspects had previously been barred from teaching or civil service positions due to their FETÖ links.
The officers also handed over six children accompanying the suspects to their relatives.
Due to its location at the gateway of Europe, Greece has been a popular destination both for migrants and fleeing FETÖ suspects after Turkey escalated a crackdown on the terrorist group in the wake of the 2016 coup attempt.
Turkish border security has stopped dozens of FETÖ suspects on its land border with Greece, while the Turkish Coast Guard has prevented a large number of the group's members from fleeing to Greek islands near Turkish shores since the summer of 2016.
