Turkey dismissed close to 15,000 more civil servants, military officials, police and others and shut down 375 institutions and news outlets on Tuesday over alleged links to a failed coup in July, an official decree said.
Some 1,988 personnel from the Turkish Armed Forces, 7,586 from the police force, 403 from the gendarmerie, and more than 5,000 from public institutions were dismissed in Tuesday’s crackdown. The total number dismissed since the July coup attempt exceeds 110,000.
