Thousands of public sectors sacked in Turkey for alleged terror links
More than 2,700 public sector workers in Turkey have been sacked for alleged links to terror groups as the government presses ahead with purges launched following last year's failed military coup.
According to two government decrees published in the Official Gazette on Sunday, those dismissed in the new wave of purges include 637 military personnel, 360 gendarmerie force members and 150 academics or other university workers.
