"An "Islamic State" fighter from the US has already been deported and plans are on to repatriate a German and a Danish citizen later on Monday. Ankara is also preparing to return scores of other Europeans.

(...)

The move comes days after the Turkish interior minister, Suleyman Soylu, said his country was "not a hotel for IS members from any country." He also warned that Ankara would begin repatriation even if the prisoners had their citizenships revoked."
