According to the Interior Ministry, raids have been carried out in 47 of the country's 81 provinces, and among those arrested are several people suspected of financing the terrorist movement. The raids are similar to several others in recent years.

"For peace, unification and solidarity in our nation, we tirelessly continue our efforts, day and night, 365 days a year," the ministry wrote in a statement.

Turkey shares a 900-kilometer border with Syria, where jihadist groups are still active. Among them, ISIS is blamed for an attack in mid-December last year, in which two American soldiers and a civilian were killed.
