Turkey no longer faces the threat of an attempt of a military coup, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said Sunday.

ANKARA (Sputnik) – According to him, Turkey will soon eliminate the atmosphere of mistrust that has arisen in the military after the failed coup last week. The authority of all state institutions will be protected, while persons associated with members of the overturn attempt will be identified and punished, Kurtulmus said.

“There is no danger of a coup attempt in Turkey, that is for certain. Our people can be calm," Kurtulmus said, as broadcast by the A Haber television channel.

On July 15, the coup attempt took place in Turkey and was suppressed the following day. Over 240 people were killed and more than 2,000 injured during the failed coup excluding the victims among the plotters, according to the country's authorities.
