Turkish security forces, which have been exerting great effort to hinder the flow of foreign fighters who travel from different parts of the world to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq, have caught 14 suspects on the border to be delivered back to their countries. Turkey is diligently guarding its borders against the threat of fighters moving in and out of its territory, and continues to be a key figure in the coalition against ISIS.The U.S.-led airstrikes that launched a war against ISIS have failed to halt the momentum of foreign fighters seeking to join the ranks of ISIS. The latest in a series of Turkey's efforts was the apprehension of 14 suspects on Feb. 9 by Turkish security forces. Turkey deported dozens of foreign fighters before they could cross the border in January. Ten-thousand people from 91 countries have also been banned from entering Turkey, and 1,085 people from 74 countries were deported for similar reasons thus far. Officials caught 14 suspects, one of whom is of Turkish origin, at the border on Monday. After their statements were taken, upon the order by the prosecutor's office, the Turkish suspect was released and the remaining foreigners were sent to Gaziantep Police Department to be deported.After deporting hundreds of people coming from Western countries to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq as part of the struggle against terrorism, Turkey has proved its determination to fight against ISIS by catching fighters who seek to join the ranks of the extremists. Interior Minister Efkan Ala previously said that 10,000 people from 91 countries have been banned from entering Turkey on the grounds of having links to ISIS, adding that 1,085 people from 74 countries were deported for similar reasons. The government also slammed its allies for failing to cooperate on intelligence sharing to prevent those planning to join ISIS from traveling.French intelligence has been highly criticized after its failure to prevent the terror attacks in Paris. Since ISIS captured the city of Mosul in Iraq last summer, Turkish leaders have called for broader cooperation to fight ISIS in the region and prevent militants from joining the group, which also threatens the West.On every possible occasion, including the NATO summit in Wales and the G20 summit in Australia, Turkish leaders have said international cooperation and intelligence sharing is vital to combat the influx of foreign fighters into ISIS-held regions in Syria and Iraq. France also apprehended and interrogated its citizens who were deported by Turkey, and in some cases deported French citizens arrived back in Turkey to join ISIS, but were sent back to France again.Marie Harf, the deputy spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State, said in a press statement released last month that the U.S. is working very closely with Turkish authorities to identify and block the passage through Turkey of foreign fighters who want to join ISIS. Speaking at a Daily Press Briefing, Harf underlined that Turkey is trying its best to stop the flow of foreign fighters, and that it is cooperating with the U.S. In response to a question about what U.S. allies such as Turkey are doing in the fight against ISIS and terrorism, Harf said: "It's a huge problem," adding that the borders are very long and often very porous. Before the latest incident, Turkish security units apprehended nine Indian citizens attempting to cross the Syrian border to join ISIS roughly a month ago. But following their deportation, Indian authorities released all nine on Monday.A week before that incident, officials detained many foreign fighters either before they made it into Syria or while trying to return back to their country of origin through Turkey. Counterterrorism police detained Cabdiwahb Cige Moxamed, a British national who returned to Turkey after allegedly fighting for ISIS in Syria. Moxamed illegally crossed into Turkey through the country's Hatay border province and traveled to İzmir in western Turkey, where he stayed in the workplace of an unidentified Turkish national. He showed a Syrian ID with the name "Mustafa Halid" to the police questioning him, but the police confirmed the identity was false and found an authentic British passport in his possession. He was later held on charges of forgery for his fake Syrian ID. Turkey's role in stemming the tide of foreign fighters joining the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) has been praised by the U.K.'s Minister of Foreign Affairs Philip Hammond, who said that Turkey is "doing a great job" in hindering the flow from European countries.Hammond underlined the critical position of Turkey in the fight against the flow of foreign fighters and appreciated the country's role, calling it "a remarkable effort." Pointing out the urgency of the situation and Turkey's challenge in containing it, he said: "We have to help them by making sure that we deal with the transit points, we deal with our own ports of exit. But the Turks are doing a great job."
