Turkey has extradited another foreign terrorist to his home country, according to the Turkish Interior Ministry on Monday.
In a statement, the ministry said that a Greek national affiliated with Daesh was sent back to his country.
Earlier in the day, the ministry said that 71 foreign Daesh members were sent to their home countries from Nov. 11 to Dec. 9.
"No matter what, we will send back Daesh members, we are not their hotel," Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu had said last month.
The issue of the handling of Daesh members and their families detained in Syria -- including foreign members of the terror group -- has been controversial, with Turkey arguing foreign-born terrorists should be returned to their countries of origin.
Ankara has said several European countries turned down its efforts to send Daesh members back to their countries.
Turkey has so far deported 7,500 Daesh members, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last week, adding that there are currently 1,149 Daesh terrorists in Turkish prisons.
