Turkey is in the throes of a three-month state of emergency imposed after the coup, which the authorities describe as an attempt by the US-based preacher Fethullah Gulen to overthrow the existing order.

Founded in 2005, Tuskon has 55,000 members and is accused by the government of financing pro-Gulen activities.
Ankara also blames Gulen for the coup attempt on July 15 and demanded the United States to extradite the self-exiled cleric, who denied any involvement.
Turkish police raided more than 100 places in Istanbul at dawn on Thursday and arrested several people in an investigation into last month’s failed coup, Dogan news agency reported.
Around two hundred people have been detained and their assets seized while they are investigated for their “apparent” connection with the military rebellion.
That operation targeted Akfa, largely involved in construction, and the A-101 supermarket chain which has 6,300 stores across Turkey, reports said.
In a televised speech, Erdogan said Turkey was facing joint attacks by various “terrorist organizations” who act together, and linked Gulen’s followers to the attacks.
Turkey has branded Gulen’s movement a terror organization and wants him returned to Turkey to face trial.
“We are telling America “aren’t we strategic partners?”
“The West never understood us, does not understand us and will never understand us in terms of the fight against the PKK”, Erdogan said.
Gulen, formerly close to Erdogan and living in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, has denounced the attempted coup, when rogue troops commandeered tanks and jets to attack government installations. US Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Ankara next week, the White House said, in the highest ranking visit to Turkey by a Western official since the coup.
Turkish police have launched simultaneous raids in 18 cities against companies linked to US -based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen as authorities pressed ahead with a clampdown on his movement.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Wednesday that 40,029 people had been detained since the coup attempt, and about half had been formally arrested pending charges.

More than 5,000 civil servants have been dismissed and nearly 80,000 others suspended, Yildirim said in an interview with TRT public television.
