The Turkish authorities ordered the closure of 12 TV networks because they are allegedly linked to terrorist groups or organizations, which represents a threat to the national security, reports Anadolu.

According to the last reports, most of these TV stations were pro-Kurdish television, including a children’s television channel that transmitted cartoons in Kurdish.

Following the failed coup of July, the Turkish authorities arrested all the suspects related in one way or another to the Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Ankara accuses of planning the coup attempt.  Dozens of journalists have been arrested for having alleged links with the cleric, and several TV stations stopped their activity.

The Turkish Recep Erdogan continues his revenge on everything related with Fethullah Gulen. After they humiliated the soldiers involved in the coup, Erdogan adopted a series of unprecedented measures. The list of the closed TV stations is impressive.

Here’s the list of the closed TV stations:

Staff members in a WhatsApp group shared talking points provided by the president’s office, and others received private calls from supervisors about the on-air tone toward Mr. Gulen.
