This latest action is one of the largest to be carried out by the Istanbul police this year. It should be noted that the Turkish police from time to time carry out operations to detain terrorists, criminals, sometimes even military personnel and officials, but the current one is remarkable for the number of security forces involved on the territory of one city. In five hours the Turkish police took over 500 people into custody. For details, "Vestnik Kavkaza" addressed the Turkish political scientist Hassan Oktayu, who said that the large-scale operation actually has no relation to the internal political conflicts in Turkish life, but has quite a clear foreign policy background. According to Hassan Oktaya, the security forces of Turkey from time to time perform operations on disclosure of crimes. However, their purposes can be different - they are sometimes directed against terrorist cells, and sometimes against local drug barons. But eventually, according to the political scientist, the purpose of such short-lived actions is to show to the whole world the power of the Turkish police.
