This is reported by the agency DHA.

“During the operation... 15 people were detained, suspected of having received instructions... against the consulates of Sweden and the Netherlands, as well as religious sites of Christians and Jews in Istanbul,” the agency said.

It is specified that the investigation proved their involvement in the banned terrorist organization "Islamic State" *, but did not reveal evidence in favor of the fact that they really prepared terrorist acts in which they are suspected.

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, commenting on the information that some European states have closed their consulates in Istanbul due to the threat of terrorist attacks, said that these countries can hardly be called allies and friends.

* "Islamic State" (ISIS, ISIL) - the organization was recognized as a terrorist organization by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2014.
