This great nations decades long secular nightmare will soon be over. I think by next week most of the rebels and gulenists have been taken into custody and removed from important positions of power.

To the goon wondering about his/her cool Turkish lady professor who was in Istanbul, it may be a minute before you see her again.

https://www.rt.com/news/352218-turkey-academics-ban-travel/

quote:

The Turkish higher board of education has prohibited all academics from traveling abroad, according to local broadcaster TRT.

The ban is a temporary measure to prevent alleged coup plotters in universities from escaping, according to a Turkish government official, cited by Reuters. Some people at the universities were communicating with military cells, the official claimed.

Four university rectors have also been suspended as part of the crackdown, according to broadcaster NTV.

It comes shortly after the government ordered the resignation of all university deans – namely, 1,577 people.

Also, the authorities canceled the licenses of 21,000 private-school teachers, bringing the total number of dismissed professionals to almost 60,000, according to Bloomberg estimates.

Academics around the world have expressed their outrage at the situation, too. Fiona de Londras, professor of Global Legal Studies at the University of Birmingham, has launched an online petition to support academic freedom in Turkey.

The Anonymous hacktivist group has also condemned the crackdown on education and media, urging to pay attention to the upcoming publications on the WikiLeaks whistleblowing website. On Wednesday, access to WikiLeaks was blocked in Turkey after a cache of some 300,000 government emails went online.

The purge comes as the government suspects the academics of links with the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who denies claims that he was behind the recent attempted coup.

PM Binali Yildirim said the preacher led a "terrorist organization," and pledged in a speech to parliament to “dig them up by their roots."

Gulen, in his turn, hinted that Erdogan may have staged it himself; the Turkish president called the claim “nonsensical.”

US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Turkey would need to provide “evidence, not allegations” against the cleric, currently living in Pennsylvania, in order to have him extradited to Turkey.

They are sending taylors, hair stylists and choreographers. Honestly Erdogan needs to improve his image as a dictator.
Meanwhile Slovak government is sending junior officials to learn some tricks while declaring the wonderful friendship between our two nations rolling happily in them piles of democracy and freedom.

I think the military is more antagonistic towards Russia than Putin, so there might be a chance he'd sell them out to Erdogan in exchange for keeping quite on the Tatar issue etc, seeing as how Erdo has already tried to suck up by apologizing for shooting down their plane.

Didn't know about that. How is the Turkish military in Egypt's books? They on decent terms? If I were one of those Admirals, I'd try and put into a port of a country that wouldn't pack me one a plane to Turkey, and if possible, maybe even allow me and my fleet to operate as a "Free Turkish Navy", although that last one is pretty far-fetched.

The Cultural Revolution was unique because Mao decided to use the brainwashed youth to attack the administrative state machine and bureaucratic system. He didn't have to since the army was still royal to him. He did it kind of prove he could.

After a few years and the student Red Guards were getting out of hands, he promptly sent them all to the countryside to "learn from the rural brothers". Talk about master troll.

Most of the Sunni regions military take overs don't have strong ideological foundation because Sunni Islam doesn't care about scholar support.

Just wanted to point out that I messedbup in that post - it's supposed to be " than Erdogan" of course. It's hard to say for certain but it that seems to be the situation.

Not sure about their relation with Egypt tbh.
