State-run news agency Anadolu said that the Istanbul public prosecutor issued arrest warrants for 360 people accused of following US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen in the Turkish armed forces.
27 civilians were also part of the people suspected of being so-called "secret imams" who are alleged to be responsible of Gulenists in the military.
