Turkey issued detention orders for 4,900 people and detained one thousand 9 of them in overnight operations in 72 cities across the country, against the suspected Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) members.
The operations were conducted across Turkey with the participation of 8,500 policemen.
FETÖ terrorists are led by U.S. based Fetullah Gülen, who orchestrated Turkey's July 15 coup attempt and is the mastermind behind a long running campaign to overthrow the state through infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police and judiciary.
Since the failed coup, operations have been ongoing in the military, police and judiciary as well as in state institutions across the country to arrest suspects with alleged links to FETÖ.
