Turkish police apprehended at least 31 people, on suspicion of financially supporting the PKK group on early Thursday in Istanbul.
Istanbul police, backed by helicopters, raided 36 addresses across 22 districts of the city including the suburbs of Kagithane and Esenyurt in simultaneous operations.
Police said that 60,000 Turkish liras in cash (around $ 20,000), a cheque in the amount of 1,250,000 Turkish liras ($ 410,226), an unregistered pump-rifle as well as organizational documents were seized during the operation.
Police said two other people were detained in Turkey's western province of Kocaeli and eastern Mus in relation with Thursday's operation.
The PKK renewed its armed campaign against the Turkish state in late-July 2015 and since then Turkish military forces have been engaged in an all-out offensive against the group.
