RIP moderate turkey: 21.000 teachers & 15.000 education ministry employees fired over coup
 

Look for turkey to do an "Iran" soon:

Turkey fires 21,000 teachers and demands suspension of every university dean in post-coup crackdown

Turkey?s post-coup crackdown took a sinister turn on Tuesday after tens of thousands of teachers were fired and all the country?s university deans were told they faced suspension.

The licences of 21,000 staff working in private schools were revoked, more than 15,000 employees at the education ministry were sacked, and the state-run higher education council demanded the resignation of 1,577 university deans.

The purge is part of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan?s heavy-handed attempt to root out supporters of Fethullah Gülen, the US-based cleric accused of orchestrating the failed revolt.

Just what we need, a more Islamist Turkey...

erdogan should beware of a backlash

Remember, Trump praised Erdogan for handling the coup opposition so quickly.

Obama has his back.

An unstable Turkey is not what the world needs.

Sure the President of Turkey is a douche, but the alternative is worse.

Damn, those educators were treated like air traffic controllers in America.

Reagan fires 11,000 striking air traffic controllers Aug. 5, 1981 - POLITICO

correction: he used to be a douche, now he's in full blown 1933 mode...

I don't disagree, but the alternative is what ?

Coup succeeding and taking their own country back. They don't want an Islam country and they don't want isis influence.

This is much different then the US invading Iraq or Iran and leaving it to birth isis. Now, they failed, and all hail obama is glorifying the stop of the resistance so more islamic terrorists can breed and commit acts of isis martyrdom. .. aka killing of innocent people across the world.

1 for Obama, 0 for the good guys.

there is none.

he has 50+% of the people inside Turkey and of the Turks outside Turkey behind him - and while his followers were annoying before, they now don't hold back anymore.

Very soon you will see moderate Turks being beaten or even killed because they don't share AKPs opinions. And not just inside Turkey.

Either the rest of the Turks realize right now that this will happen and common sense will prevail - or Turkey will go through what Germany went through from 1933 to 45

How this will affect us all we will see.

was shooting a model from turkey when this went down... she was telling me that turkey is a modern country:2 cents:

some parts are, some are not

but it's like that in almost every country, right?

New York and rural Lousiana are also not really comparable

It's a clusterfuck of massive proportions.

Not after this.

Firing all judges and destroying the education sector is fucked. The real coup is already in planning guaranteed :2 cents:

well i guess its safe to say that turkey can kiss the EU dream goodbye with this mass reprisal stuff...its also amusing to note the lack of any real opposition from the EU to what erdogan is doing LOL most of them do not want turkey in the EU and this is playing out great for them :2 cents:

From what I've read they've been an associate member of the EU since the Ankara Agreement in 1963 and since then they've just strung the EU along taking loans and stuffing exports to the EU. They have until 2022 to play games.

The voters and citizens clearly do want an Islamist Country, same as Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc.

The people know that despots are the only option for keeping some level of peace. Erdogan is the person to keep fanatical terrorists under control. Until the Western leaders get this through their thick liberal PC heads, the better.

Never underestimate the desire of the EU paper pushers drive to expand a failing institution.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense would never have included any of the Balkans or Greece in the EU. Even the Baltic and Eastern European Nations only bring cheap labour.

turks are hard workers...you are right about greece and the balkans LOL but turks are more like germans...I admire people with a strong work ethic and they would have been a contribution to the EU...at one point in time I even considered importing turks to my shit hole for work...
