Turkish Foreign Ministry fires 88 employees after coup attempt
Turkey`s Foreign Ministry has fired 88 employees in the aftermath of the country`s failed military coup attempt, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday.
Cavusoglu spoke to the Turkish broadcaster NTV.

"So far we have cancelled the contracts of 88 employees, including two ambassadors," he said.

Since the failed coup, Turkey has jailed more than 10,000 people and suspended more than 50,000 judges, civil servants, and educators under a state of emergency in which expressing ideas similar to those of Gulen is considered a crime.
