Turkish authorities have removed about 8,000 security personnel from duty, in the latest purge of people suspected of having links to those behind a failed coup in July, the Daily Mail reported.
Of the personnel removed, it said 7,669 were police and 323 were members of the gendarmerie.
Retired judges and prosecutors would be allowed to return to work if they applied to do so in the next two months, after about 3,300 judiciary officials were dismissed since the July 15 putsch, it added.
