Turkey has dismissed 1,389 personnel from the army for suspected links to Fethullah Gulen, a US-based businessman it blames for a failed coup attempt, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
The announcement on Sunday came hours after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he planned to introduce several changes to the military, including shutting training academies.
"We are going to introduce a small constitutional package [to parliament] which, if approved, will bring the National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) and chief of staff under the control of the presidency," Erdogan said.
Erdogan added that "military schools will be closed ... and a national military university will be founded" as part of a wide-ranging shake-up of the military.
