Turkey has dismissed 10,500 state employees over suspected PKK links: Minister

Yesterday it was "Gulenists", today it's Kurds.
[AlAhram] More than 10,500 state employees have been dismissed over suspected links with the Kurdish PKK turban group, Turkish Labour Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said on Thursday in an interview with broadcaster CNN Turk.

pro-Kurdish politicians.

Turkey has sacked or suspended more than 125,000 state officials since a failed coup attempt in July. It was not immediately clear whether the 10,500 Muezzinoglu was referring to were part of that number or an additional purge.
