Turkish authorities arrested 30 officers and issued arrest warrants for 40 more as part of an investigation into last year's coup attempt, Anadolu Agency reported.
Anatolia said a police operation was carried out in seven provinces today to find 70 active air force, navy, army and gendarmerie officers for possible links to the movement of preacher Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkish authorities accuse of being behind the coup.
Arrest warrants were issued after the testimony of alleged members of the Gulen movement. Last month, 117 officers were arrested across Turkey.
In Turkey, after the failed coup in July 2016, a large-scale purge began, in which more than 50.000 people were arrested and more than 110.000 lost their jobs in the civil service.
Fethullah Gulen, who lives in exile in the US, denies involvement in the coup.
