"At the moment the operation to clean up the military ranks continues. Number of detainees may exceed six thousand people - the process continues.." - Bozdag said.
Also, commenting on the request for extradition of Imam-oppositionist Gulen, which Turkish President Erdogan accused of coup attempt, the head of the Ministry of Justice said: "Defending him, America would weaken its position and harm its own credibility.
