Seven Turkish nationals, who had links with Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulens’ movement, were sent back to Turkey under a bilateral readmission agreement from 2014. Those Turkish citizens did not seek asylum in Bulgaria and were heading to Western Europe, Deputy Director of Border Police Chief Directorate Chief Commissioner Svetoslav Manolov said on Tuesday. The Turkish nationals were interrogated in the presence of an interpreter. None of them claimed affiliation to Gulen. The Turkish citizens could not justify their entry to Bulgaria and one day after their detention Bulgaria’s Border Police sent them back to Turkey. Bulgaria’s authorities have sent back a total of 72 Turkish citizens in 2016.
