Turkey has begun the process of returning alleged foreign ISIS fighters to their home countries, starting with an American, a Briton and seven Germans
Turkey's Interior Ministry said an American who is suspected of being an ISIS fighter was being deported the US, a British suspect to London and seven Germans to Berlin.The American was initially sent to Greece on Monday, upon his request, according to the Ministry. But Greece refused to accept him, and he was left stranded for several days in a"buffer zone" between the countries, the ministry said.
The UK Home Office told CNN it would not comment on individual cases.Turkey announced last week that it would begin sending ISIS militants home, something that it has long pushed for, even for those fighters stripped of their citizenship.Ankara has repeatedly criticized European nations for refusing to take back their own nationals, with Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu saying that Turkey was not a"guest house or hotel" for ISIS members to stay in indefinitely.
