BNR correspondent to Istanbul Marian Karagyozov said that besides the Bulgarians who were arrested, other members of the group who wanted to cross the border were three Turkish families - six adults and five children. The Turkish citizens are reported to be wanted by police because of links to the organization of Islamic preacher Fethullah Gullen.
