Erdogan decree tightens civilian control of Turkish military
President Erdogan issued a presidential decree expanding civilian oversight after the July coup attempt. It transfers command to the defense ministry, discharges 1,389 personnel, and broadens the Supreme Military Council to include deputy prime ministers and key ministers. Authorities continue mass arrests and detentions, with thousands suspended in education, media, health, and law sectors. A Marmaris raid produced nine suspects tied to the coup, as security forces pursued remaining participants.
