Analysis by Jonathan Head, BBC News, Istanbul
The sweeping reforms of the armed forces announced by President Erdogan could put the military under full civilian control for the first time in the country's modern history, with the aim of preventing future coup attempts.
However dealing with the movement the government blames for instigating the coup will be a more complex task.
Millions of Turks are believed to be followers of the exiled Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, many of them successful and influential.
More than 60,000 have already been dismissed from state employment; more than 3,000 military officers with suspected links to the preacher have also been sacked.
But eliminating them from other areas like business would require a purge on a massive scale, something Turkey's fragile economy may not be able to sustain.
