ANKARA: Turkish authorities have issued warrants on Wednesday calling for the detention of 47 former executives or senior journalists at the Zaman newspaper, which was associated with the US-based Muslim cleric who is allegedly behind Turkey’s failed July 15 coup.
According to the state-run Anadolu Agency, former journalist of Zaman columnist Sahin Alpay, was detained at his home early on Wednesday, Zaman, which was linked to Fethullah Gulen’s religious movement, was raided by police and seized by the government in March as part of a crackdown on the group.
Three news agencies, 16 television stations, 23 radio stations, 45 newspapers, 15 magazines and 29 publishers, were ordered to shut down, the official gazette said.
It did not give the names of the media outlets to be closed, but according to a list obtained by the CNN-Turk channel they include mainly provincial titles as well as some well-known national media.
These include the Cihan news agency, the pro-Kurdish IMC TV and the opposition daily newspaper Taraf.
Tayeb Erdogan also met top military commanders on Thursday over one of the most radical “cleansing” in the armed forces’ history after a failed coup, which has already seen 149 generals dishonorably discharged.
Eighty-seven land army generals, 30 air force generals, and 32 admirals — a total of 149 — were dishonourably discharged over their complicity in the July 15 putsch bid, a Turkish official said, confirming a government decree.
In addition, 1,099 officers and 436 junior officers have also received a dishonourable discharge, the decree added.
After the coup attempt, authorities have launched a relentless campaign to eradicate Gulen’s influence from Turkish institutions in a crackdown that has shaken every aspect of life in Turkey and led to the detention of nearly 16,000 people.
But 178 generals have been detained, with 151 of them already remanded in custody, around half of the 358 generals serving in Turkey.
