Several children were reportedly among them.

He described the release of his countrymen and women as ‘joyful news’.

The hostages were seized after Isis overran Mosul, a city in northern Iraq, and arrested all non-Iraqi citizens.

Turkey has refused to use any military action against Isis due to fears that the hostages may have been harmed.

Few details were given on how the Turkish government secured their release, however they did confirm that no ransom was paid.

The news comes as Isis recently released a video showing a British hostage.
