Turkey's elite presidential guard is to be disbanded after nearly 300 of its members were detained following last week's failed coup, BBC reports.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told a TV channel that there was "no need" for the regiment.
"There will no longer be a presidential guard, there is no purpose, there is no need," Mr Yildirim told the A Haber TV channel.
The presidential guard numbers up to 2,500 soldiers but at least 283 were detained after the uprising.
