ANKARA (Sputnik) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has held an emergency meeting with the heads of intelligence and the ministry of justice after his fellow party member, Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahceli, had warned of a possible coup d'état being prepared by law enforcement agencies, the Turkiye newspaper on Wednesday.
The dismissal of several police officers in Ankara's security directorate accused of links to criminal organization Ayhan Bora Kaplan has caused widespread concern. Their homes had been searched to seize digital materials. Bahceli has said the situation could be a conspiracy against the government, and the suspension of several police officers alone cannot be avoided. The official, while addressing a party meeting in parliament, has warned of a possible repeat of the 2016 coup attempt in Turkey.
Erdogan held the emergency overnight meeting with Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc and National Intelligence Organization Director Ibrahim Kalin at the president's residence following a warning from Bahceli, the report said.
The Turkish president is expected to speak on the topic at an expanded meeting of the ruling party in the parliament on Wednesday.

Another false flag / roundup pretext.
Great! I have to transit through the Istanbul airport tomorrow
Could be that NATO and the US are sick of him and are deposing him through the Turkish military. There’s a track record of this exact thing happening throughout Turkish history since WWII.
Maybe it’s time for Erdogan to spend more time with his family.
“... and are deposing him through the Turkish military”
Didn’t Erdogan clean house in the military after the last “coup attempt” several years ago?
Arguably the history of removing Islamist political leaders goes back to the Ataturk and his attempts to modernize Turkey despite the influence of Islam. That pre-dates WWII.
Yes. He staged a false coup and replaced the top brass with Islamist trash.
Recep “the mosques are our barracks” Erdogan.
“Snowball did this! I distinctly smell him!” said Napoleon.
He staged the last coup attempt against himself so he could get rid of a bunch of people.
You would think things like this would only happen in countries like the US.
He purged the military years ago.
I don’t think many people in NATO or the US think that the next guy would be better. He is under pressure for the Islamic nut jobs, and he likes Russia better than the US.
Nope…the status quo is working for the US right now. It’s the nuts that want him out.
The Prime Minister of Slovakia sympathetic to Russia shot and critically wounded today.
That kind of thing could easily become fashionable again.
Yep.
I don’t expect whoever replaces him to be any better.
Neither do I.
