On Thursday, August 20, police officers conducted raids against private schools associated with Gulen movement. 10 private schools in Ankara affiliated with Samanyolu Educational Institutions were raided by police. In addition, in Yalova 50 police officers accompanied with government officials raided prep school. Nobody was allowed to access the school while the raid was in action.
