Good for them. 950 companies = 950 foreign intelligent agencies.... Independent finally!

Yes, that was the time when PKK terror organization destroyed 5-10 Kurdish cities and killed hundreds of Kurds. Those so-called academics were labeling the government as "terrorist" because Erdogan was defending Kurds and the country. Erdogan of course labeled them as terrorists. Remember that those academics do not do science-- see the scientific publications--instead doing politics.

That was in the past... This is a new century. That is why these academics are so uneasy-- they are not doing science, instead, hoping salvation from military coups.

Why? Do you want to have these coups in your own country every 10 years, destroying economy, killing people and setting back the progress another 20 years?

You read it wrong: the ruling party has the highest percentage of PhDs, Masters and undergraduates than any party.

"All" described in the article is not true. There were some arrested because they were advising criminals (in fact, one of them was caught at the military airpot that launches F16 against people). Some were dismissed from critical positions. Don't forget that many of those are government employees.

Nice observation!

What Western citizens do not know is that the military coup often has many legs: Military, Media, Financial institutions and Academy etc. This military coup killed around 250 people wounded 2000 people. Moreover, the senate and the citizens were bombed by the military. What would do if your academics are in bed with those criminals?
