Özden, the group's so-called emir in the country, received instructions from Syria and Iraq, and made groups of 10-12 people to organize protests in Turkey, according to Soylu.
Turkey was one of the first countries to declare Daesh/ISIS as a terror group in 2013.
The country has since been attacked by Daesh/ISIS terrorists multiple times. The extremist group has carried out at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks and four armed attacks, which killed 315 people and injured hundreds of others.
In response, Turkey launched anti-terror operations at home and abroad to prevent further attacks.
