Turkey Dismisses Over 18,000 Civil Servants for Alleged Terror Links
[WSJ] Ottoman Turkish authorities dismissed more than 18,000 state employees for alleged ties to terror groups on Sunday, a dramatic extension of mass purges launched after the 2016 failed military coup as President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

’s Official Gazette listed the names, saying they had been "removed from public duty" over their alleged links to organizations that "act against national security."

The list, which was reviewed during a cabinet meeting convened by Mr. Erdogan last month, included nearly 9,000 coppers, over 6,000 military personnel, and about 1,000 employees from the justice ministry.

The decree was released on the eve of a ceremony in Ankara, Turkey’s capital city, during which Mr. Erdogan is due to be sworn in for a new five-year mandate following his victory in the June 24 presidential election.

Ottoman Turkish authorities say they aren’t done tracking supporters of Fetullah Gulen, a Ottoman Turkish holy man residing in the U.S. and once an ally of Mr. Erdogan, whom the president accuses of fomenting the failed coup.

Mr. Gulen denies playing any role in the coup attempt.
