The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office on Friday issued detention warrants for 110 members of the Turkish Air Forces including six pilots over alleged links to the faith-based Gülen movement, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
According to the report, 100 of the 110 officers who were accused of communicating with people from the Gülen movement have been detained in operations in 16 provinces.
The Turkish government has dismissed over 40,000 military personnel including gendarmerie and military cadets over alleged links to the movement since a failed coup attempt in July 2016, the tr724 new website reported on Aug. 4.
Immediately after the abortive putsch, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government along with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pinned the blame on the Gülen movement.
Fethullah Gülen, who inspired the movement, strongly denied having any role in the failed coup and called for an international investigation into it, but President Erdoğan — calling the coup attempt “a gift from God” — and the government initiated a widespread purge aimed at cleansing sympathizers of the movement from within state institutions, dehumanizing its popular figures and putting them in custody.

Lots of chickens are coming home to roost in Turkey.
chaos is good

>>Military morale in Turkey must be sky high right now.
I’m sure it is - for the Erdogan Islamists there.
That’s extreme, as the kids say.
I’ll watch to see if hr gets some big reward from China for this.
(Yeah, that’s how my thinking goes.)
The cowardice of the Turk Air Force is what got them here. They had an F-16 ready to bring down Erdogan’s Gulfstream during the coup attempt to save Turkey. But the pilot didn’t fire.
Whoa. Talk about a career (at LEAST) ender!
Indeed.
And a force readiness destroyer.
Or it was planned that way by Erdogan.
Paranoia by Erdogan the Islamist Dictator of Turkey.
Morale? What morale?
Yes, for the enemy.
