MojNews- Turkish security forces arrested ۴۵۰ people for their alleged links to the YPG / PKK terror group, the Interior Ministry said on Sunday.

The ministry said police detained ۴۵۰ suspects over the last five days in anti-terror operations across ۳۷ provinces.

During the operations, police seized equipment and documents at the suspects&#۳۹; addresses, including a number of long-barreled firearms, a shotgun and a shotgun shell.

In its more than ۳۰-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, The U.S. and EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of ۴۰,۰۰۰ people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the PKK&#۳۹;s Syrian offshoot.
