Turkey's presidential office has announced that it has dismissed a person who was allegedly closely related to the ruling party appointed by President Erdogan over the appointment of the president of a prestigious national university.
It is believed that the administration has attempted an early curtain, as it has led to criticism of the president as threatening the autonomy of the university.
Turkey's presidential office said in a government bulletin issued on the 15th that it had dismissed President Erdogan's president, Melif Bull, of the University of Boazichi in Istanbul, the largest city, on the previous day.
Mr. Bull was allegedly hoping to run for a local parliamentary election from the ruling party, the Justice and Development Party, and was pointed out to have a close relationship with the ruling party. Voices gathered.
Protests continued on and off campus, and in February police intervened and about 160 students were temporarily detained.
Cheong Wa Dae has not disclosed the reason for the dismissal more than half a year after the appointment, but it seems that the administration has attempted an early curtain.
Following the dismissal, students who had been protesting on the university campus welcomed the decision by applauding.
In Turkey, five years have passed since the attempted coup d'etat, which killed about 250 citizens. However, various criticisms have become apparent.
