ISTANBUL

Turkish forces nabbed on Friday a former deputy mayor of Kayapinar district of the southeastern Diyarbakir province, who is suspected of being a member of the PKK terrorist organization, sources said.

Fatma Arsimet was caught in Edirne while she was preparing to flee to Greece.

After the necessary procedures at the provincial police directorate's anti-terrorism and immigration branches, Arsimet was taken to a court, which remanded her into custody.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
