Turkish authorities have issued arrest warrants for 324 persons suspected of links to the Imam Fetullah Gulen.
The arrests were conducted in several provinces, as well as in wider regions of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. More than 760 people were arrested last week throughout Turkey.
Since 2016's failed coup, 55,000 people have been arrested in Turkey, and 140,000 have been suspended or fired.
Authorities accuse Gulen of organising the coup on 15 July 2016, but Gulen, who lives in the US, has flatly dismissed the charges.
