Kudeta gagal : Turki bubarkan paspampres.
Turkey's elite presidential guard is to be disbanded
after nearly 300 of its members were detained
following last week's failed coup.


Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told a TV channel that there was "no need" for the regiment. Earlier, Turkey detained a nephew of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen who it says was behind the uprising. He strongly denies the claim.
A key aide of Mr Gulen has also been arrested, a
presidency official said.


President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has launched a
widespread krackdown following the attempted coup,
arresting thousands of service personnel and sacking or
suspending thousands of government officials, school
teachers and university heads.


A state of emergency was declared on Wednesday,
allowing the president and cabinet to bypass parliament
when drafting new laws and to restrict or suspend rights
and freedoms.


"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.
Fethullah Gulen, who was once an ally of Mr Erdogan but
then fell out with him, has called on the US government
to block Turkey's attempts to extradite him.


The Anadolu news agency said Mr Gulen's nephew,
Muhammet Sait Gulen, was detained in the north-eastern
city of Erzurum and was being taken to the capital Ankara
for questioning.
A presidency official quoted by Reuters said Halis Hanci,
described as Fethullah Gulen's right-hand man, had been
"captured".


The official said Mr Hanci had apparently entered Turkey
two days before the coup attempt.
Earlier on Saturday, Mr Erdogan extended the period in
which suspects can be detained without charge to 30
days.


A statement carried by state media also ordered the
closure of more than 1,000 private schools and more
than 1,200 associations.
Also on Saturday, Ankara's chief prosecutor Harun
Kodalak was reported by Turkish media as saying that
1,200 soldiers detained in the wake of the coup had been
released.


Those freed were said to be low-ranking soldiers.
Thousands of other service personnel, including more
than 100 generals and admirals, remain in detention.
President Erdogan's tough measures have been criticised
by human rights groups, as well as by France, Germany
and senior EU officials.


Mr Erdogan told France 24 television on Saturday that
the EU was "biased and prejudiced" against Turkey.
Amnesty International has said Mr Erdogan is going "well
beyond what might be considered a legitimate response
to the coup attempt".
