Always



keep your eye on Turkey.

Those dismissed include soldiers, police and academics. 
A TV channel and three newspapers have also been closed.
Since the coup attempt the government has fired more than 125,000 people, 
introduced emergency rule and clamped down on the media and the opposition.

Under controversial constitutional changes approved by a referendum last year, 
parliament has been weakened and the post of prime minister abolished.
The president will be able to appoint to ministers and vice-presidents and intervene in the legal system.

The defeated opposition candidate in the presidential election, 
Muharrem Ince, said Turkey was now entering a dangerous period of "one-man rule".

The stage is being set.
