People: Service Jobs and Turkey

people: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has ordered the detention of tens of thousands of people and forced many more from public service jobs in recent months, according to Brandon Sun. On Tuesday, Turkey Interior Ministry said 568 people had been detained across 28 cities in the last two days due to their alleged affiliation with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK. The EU has watched on because it desperately wants Turkey help and is wary of angering Erdogan. At talks in Brussels, EU foreign and European affairs ministers decided that no new sections of Turkey accession negotiations should be started an attempt to balance their concerns about the crackdown against their need for Ankara to manage Europe refugee crisis. The EU has offered Turkey fast-track membership talks, visa free travel for its citizens and billions to help the Syrian refugees now in Turkey to persuade Ankara to stop tens of thousands of migrants from trying to reach Europe. Attacks on human rights and public freedoms, journalists, university goers, parliamentarians are imprisoned, said France European affairs minister Harlem Desir. Turkey is drifting today.
