In the latest move in an ongoing power struggle with U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, Turkish P.M. Recep Tayyip Erdogan reassigned or fired some 350 police officers, including members of units dealing with high-profile crimes. Accusations and counter-accusations of corruption have formed the axis of the fight between Tayyip Erdogan and Gulen, whom the P.M. accuses of planning to usurp power.
