Reponse: Turkey purges 13,000 police officers over failed coup

The article was interesting because it involved a huge number of polices getting purged. I had read about articles where the government/police has purged civilians but not an article about a government purging its own forces. Now it only made sense because it involved a coup. Basically there was a coup in Turkey while the president was having a vacation and it failed because the mass public did not join the fight. The intended target of this article was to Americans (I'll explain later) and anyone who is interested in flying to Turkey(Not a good idea). The writer didn't necessarily have a bias but explained the information fairly. The article included how the US-based Muslim cleric, Fethullah Gulen could've started/helped the coup from happening in the first place. Now Mr. Gulen has a history of receiving help from the CIA and allying with America. He is currently residing in America and this theory that he masterminded the coup is threatening relations with America and Turkey. The publisher was BBC and not having a bias in this matter makes sense because although the UK is America's ally, it wouldn't want to hurt its relations with Turkey too.
