Turkey has either suspended or detained around 44, 000 soldiers, police, judges, civil servants and teachers after the last week abortive coup.
Following the recent unsuccessful military coup, Ankara vowed to root out allies of the US-based cleric it blamed for the coup to stir tensions across the country of 80 million.
"We will dig them up by their roots," Reuters quoted Binali Yildirim, Turkish PM, as he referred to the followers of Fethullah Gulen.
"This parallel terrorist organization will no longer be an effective pawn for any country," Binali Yildirim added.
