As Turkey approaches the tenth anniversary of the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016, Turkish prosecutors have issued nearly 1,000 arrest warrants for individuals linked to the Gülen organization, which the government accuses of orchestrating the coup. This large-scale operation is characterized by hundreds of arrests carried out across all 81 provinces of the country, with reports indicating that authorities have already executed 704 arrests as part of the ongoing crackdown.
The operation is coordinated by the Ministries of Interior and Justice, reflecting the Turkish government's continued efforts against what it describes as the FETÖ network, seen as a significant threat to national security. The crackdown comes just days before the anniversary, which marks one of the most violent episodes in Turkey's recent history, resulting in over 250 deaths and around 2,000 injuries during the coup attempt.
