HARDtalk's Zeinab Badawi speaks to Mehmet Simsek, Turkey's deputy Prime Minister. The attempted coup in Turkey may have been crushed but has it exposed weaknesses in the hold on power of President Erdogan? Around fifteen thousand personnel from the military, police, judiciary and civil service have either been arrested or relieved from duty.
