Turkish authorities have launched a massive detention operation, arresting more than 1,000 people nationwide on Wednesday. The Turkish government says the arrests are aimed at supporters of the U.S-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames for last year's failed coup attempt.
And these arrests are by no means the end of the operation. Anadolu Agency, a state-run news service, says the government aims to arrest another 2,000 people. Germany's Deutsche Welle newspaper reports roughly 8,500 police officers undertook raids in all 81 provinces in Turkey

PING...
I was wondering whose side they were on.
Knowing they are connected with the Clinton’s answers that question.
So they purged the bad guys.
Right?
If they keep purging the police, who are they going to have arresting anyone else ?
We have more at stake in Erdogan’s indisputably real march toward Islamic dictatorship than anything Assad allegedly did.
It’s the only way to clean the rats outta the cellar!
It is becoming an Islamic Venezuela ....
So sad to see....
And these guys have our advanced weaponry and are part of NATO, have a lot of well trained military personnel as well.
Europe can now expect a wave of Turkish refugees to cross their borders.
That is one way for Turkey to join the EU.
Right?”

Ahh .... no, the purgers are the bad guys in the process of standing up an Islamic state with Erdogan as the Sultan. That's not to say that some of those that were purged might be bad guys but most were likely more toward the secularist end.
Erdogen thinks he will be Mahdi....
“That’s not to say that some of those that were purged might be bad guys but most were likely more toward the secularist end.”
I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that there are no good guys in the Middle East. You never know when any one of them will turn on you.
That’s what I’m seeing...I don’t trust the lot of them...
This is what, the second or third purge since the failed coup?
It seems that Erdogan is on a similar road that Chavez in Venezuela took but with Muslim ideology.
Oh. OK.
It’s hard in the muslim world to tell who’s on first.
another Armenian genocide is what I see....
