Ankara, Turkey: Turkey's ruling AK Party today ordered a internal purge of members with links to Fethullah Gulen, the US based cleric whom the government holds responsible for last month's failed coup.
An internal AKP memorandum seen by Reuters called for a rapid purge of those with links to the "Gulenist terror group" and those who supported the July 15 putsch attempt.
