Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said to Turkish officials that all those involved in last week's failed coup attempt "will be purged and suffer the consequences that they deserve", during a statement alongside Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, in Ankara, on Tuesday. His comments come as officials announced that over 15,000 education staff had been suspended, as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government continues to purge its ranks of opponents following Friday’s failed coup.
Mark Toner, deputy spokesperson for the US State Department, said on Tuesday that "it's absurd to think that United States was somehow complicit or anyway connected" to Friday's failed coup in Turkey.
