The 2016–17 Turkish purgesare an ongoing series ofpurges by the government ofTurkey enabled by a state of emergency in reaction to the15 July failed coup d’état. After the immediate arrest of military personnel accused of making the coup attempt, arrests were expanded to include further elements of the Turkish military service, as well as various civil servantsand private businesses. These later actions, reflecting a power struggle between secularist and Islamistpolitical elites in Turkey,which began to be known as a purge, affected people who were not active in nor aware of the coup as it happened, but who were alleged to be connected with the Gülen movement, a group which the government blames for the coup.
