yaklama

Yakalama is a Turkish noun derived from the verb yakalamak, meaning to catch, seize, or arrest. The term denotes the act of catching a person or thing and is widely used in official, legal, and journalistic language to describe apprehension by authorities or the moment of capture.

In law enforcement, yakalama refers to apprehension by police or other authorities. It can appear in phrases such as yakalama kararı (arrest warrant), yakalama anı (moment of capture), and yakalama prosedürü (arrest procedure). The term is often associated with the transition from capture to subsequent legal steps such as gözaltı (detention) and tutuklama (imprisonment or remand).

Note that the spelling yaklama is less common in Turkish; the standard noun is yakalama. The concept is primarily used in Turkish-language contexts and is rarely found as a standalone term in other languages.
