(28 Jul 2016) Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim visited the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Ankara on Thursday ahead of a top-level military meeting.
Yildirim was joined by members of the Supreme Military Council who are meeting a day after Turkey discharged close to 1,700 officers, including 149 generals and admirals.
The council, which decides on promotions and retirements, was expected to announce more dismissals on Thursday.
Turkey declared a state of emergency following the coup attempt and nearly 16,000 people were detained over suspected links to the failed uprising.
Tens of thousands of state employees have been dismissed for alleged ties to a US-based Muslim cleric accused of masterminding the coup.
