More than 200 people have travelled from Germany to fight with Kurdish militias against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the Interior Ministry reported on Monday.
69 of the 204 fighters are German nationals, the ministry added in a statement on the issue, which is particularly delicate for German-Turkish relations.
Among the volunteers who have traveled from Germany since 2013, 102 have returned including 43 German citizens.
The German government warns against travel to the areas of heavy fighting in Iraq and Syria.
