Turkish forces arrested 21 terror suspects, security sources said Saturday.
The suspects belonged to Fetullah Terror Organization (FETO), PKK, and al-Nusra terrorist organizations.
Eleven PKK suspects were rounded up in capital Ankara after the public prosecutor's office issued arrest warrants for 19 people, said a source, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people, including women and children.
In a separate operation, four suspects were arrested over links to FETO while they were trying to escape to Greece through the northwestern Turkish province of Edirne.
A suspect, who was wanted for being the "chief" of FETO-linked university graduates, was arrested. He was also accused of infiltrating FETO members into the Turkish air force.
In another operation, a husband and wife were detained for suspected links to FETO in the Black Sea province of Trabzon.
In the southwestern province of Burdur, a wanted suspect was arrested during an anti-terror operation.

Two individuals were also remanded in Burdur and central Sivas province over links to al-Nusra.
Turkey designates al-Nusra as a terrorist organization and continues to fight against the Al Qaeda-linked group, both inside and outside the country.
