MojNews- Turkey on Tuesday deported a foreign terrorist to the home country of France, the Interior Ministry said.

A statement by the ministry recalled that Turkey continues to deport foreign terrorist fighters.

The issue of the handling of Daesh / ISIS members and their families detained in Syria -- including foreign members of the terror group -- has been controversial, with Turkey arguing foreign-born terrorists should be returned to their countries of origin.

Ankara has said several European countries resisted its efforts to send Daesh/ISIS members back to their countries, but that it will nevertheless press forward.
