Report: Turkey Police Detain 2 Britons over 'Terror Propaganda'
2018-07-07
[AnNahar] Anti-terror police have detained two Britons of Iraqi origin at an airport in southwest The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
on charges of spreading terror propaganda for outlawed Kurdish turbans, media reported Friday.

Two brothers identified as Ayman Barzan and Hariam Barzan were held Thursday at Dalaman airport after they were interviewed by anti-terror risk analysis police over their "suspicious behaviors," the DHA private news agency reported.

Police later checked their social media accounts where they allegedly disseminated propaganda in favor of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia, DHA said.

Turkey considers the YPG as the Syrian branch of the PKK -- which has waged a bloody insurgency against the state since 1984 and is blacklisted as a terror group by Ankara and its Western allies.

The two brothers, who were detained by police, were later placed by a local court in pre-trial detention, DHA said.

#1  two Britons

They stole a Grenade from an abbot,
Talked Turkey, and how they might grab it --
For such was the habit
Of Peachey and Dravot --
And angered an Ankara rabbit.
