Story highlights In total, Turkey has closed about 130 media and publishing outlets, state-run news agency says

It says nearly 1,700 soldiers -- including 87 generals -- have been fired

(CNN) The Turkish government continues to take action against soldiers and institutions after this month's failed coup attempt.

Amid a state of emergency , 45 newspapers, 16 television stations and three news agencies have been closed, state-run news agency Anadolu said Wednesday.

Anadolu said nearly 1,700 soldiers -- including 87 generals -- have been fired.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last week said actions were being taken to remove the "threat" raised during the attempt. Officials have fired or suspended tens of thousands as the government intensifies its vast purge.

Turkey's top broadcasting authority last week revoked the licenses for two dozen radio and television companies that it said are linked to Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan blames for masterminding the coup, Anadolu reported.
