Turkey coup: 15,200 education staff suspended

More news from the failed coup.

Turkey has suspended 15,200 education staff for alleged ties to an exiled cleric it blames for last week's failed coup. The Ministry of Education made the announcement. It is not clear yet who those suspended are. It comes after Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim vowed to purge supporters of Fethullah Gulen "by the roots".

Just shows even more that Erdogan has lost his mind.

Likely we will see a Islamic reform of the school systems.....

if he keeps this up i can see a second coup coming.
maybe a real one this time.

Keep squeezing Erdogan, paranoia is every emperors down fall.

I am one that does believe the coup was a false flag and his actions are proving it, in my honest opinion. Its like he is using the Nazi handbook 101 for the take over of a country.

This only proves Erdogan planned the coup and had wide-ranging plans to institute following. Purging the armed forces, police, judiciary and now even educational staff. He is moving Turkey towards radical Islam and restoration of the Caliphate with himself at the head.

Looks like Erdogans version of Night of the Long Knives.
He sure is making the most of his failed coup.

Hopefully the secularists rise up against this tyrant and bring him to justice

Restore Turkey to the secular state established by Ataturk. Don't make it yet another outpost of Islamic tyranny.

It will be interesting to see what he has planned next, once all his purging is complete my bet is for him to go after the Kurds and ethnically cleanse Turkey of them and the surrounding areas

Erdogan is turning turkey into an Sunni Islamic State. All secular Educationists,military officers and Judges are being removed.

Erdogan has a Big Idea. How do you say that in spanish Big= ota , Idea= Idi, Now put them together.

Idiota .

We will all witness his demise

Yep, my thoughts exactly. One enemy at a time. Once the Kurds are gone he can tidy up the borders.

Who needs education? It's the 21st century after all! Too much knowledge makes the head bald.

Kidding aside, according to my fellow Turk, there are a lot of people in Turkey who don't support this shift to Sharia. Perhaps many will have to leave the country and start a new life all over again in a foreign country.

P.S. There is a lack of opposite opinion in this thread (and others on the topic). I would like to invite our pro-Erdogan ATS fellow 23432, which was desperately active in the recent past.

lol, Erdogan looks at himself as an leader of the Islamic world. Once his theocratic sunni Islamic state has been established. Turkey will became a huge headache for Europe. Europe does not know whats going to hit it until some tries a second coup to remove this lunatic.

Destroy education destroy the law, keep the people stupit and use religion to control. Every muslim country uses the same system to control the people, soon no school or uni for women.

Quick way to peace in Europe:

1. kick out USA and Turkey of NATO
2. transform NATO to European military pact
3. restore normal relations with Russia
4. leave that f..g double standard: Many of our ME allies are pure criminal conspiracies with at least indirect ties to present Trex scare.

That's not gonna happen. The US will never allow Europe to be too strong or independent. NEVER. Whatever it takes.

If the strongest Germany is completely occupied and can't do anything about that, what can small European countries do?
I'm not able to name a single sovereign country in Europe.

Interestingly, after we invaded Iraq, their academics were either run out of the country or were murdered.

It was suggested that these were the people that would have led the uprising against the American invasion and occupation.

Violence against academics in post-invasion Iraq.

I would imagine that Erdogan is worried about the same thing.
