The Interior Ministry has issued arrest warrants for 1,693 of the detained individuals, though their identities have not been disclosed.

This comes amid a significant rise in the arrest and deportation of Afghan migrants colonists from countries like Iran, Pakistain, and Turkey in recent months.

Previously, Ottoman Turkish media reported the detention of 33 Afghan refugees in the city of Erzurum over the past month.
