Turkish authorities have detained 6,000 people over Friday's failed coup. The sweep includes high-ranking soldiers and about 2,700 judges. The number is expected to rise further, Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag has said.
"The clean-up operations are continuing," he was quoted as saying by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
Turkey witnessed violence after an attempted military coup in which at least 250 people died.
After the bloodiest challenge to his 13-year autocratic rule, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged his backers to stay on the streets to prevent a possible "flare-up" of Friday's chaos in the strategic North Atlantic Treaty Organisation member of 80 million people.
"The situation is completely under control," Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said outside his Ankara offices, flanked by Turkey's top general who had himself been taken hostage by the plotters.
Describing the attempted coup as a "black stain" on Turkey's democracy, Yildirim said 265 people had been killed in the night of violence and 1,440 wounded.
This toll did not appear to include 104 rebel soldiers killed overnight, bringing the overall death toll from the bloodshed to 265.
