The latest of Turkey's state of emergency government decrees were published in the Official Gazette on Sunday, not only purging thousands of civil servants from their jobs, but also granting legal immunity to "those who took to the streets during the coup attempt" or "assisted with suppressing terror."
Despite the fact that government states the decree is for those who defended the country during coup attemp on 15 - 16 July 2016, the decree could pave the way for pro-government militia and risks heightening tensions within an already deeply polarised society.
Officials have indicated that newly implemented uniform rule will only encompass those who are suspects of what the government has labelled the Fethullah Terror Organisation (FETO) and are accused of having supported the attempted coup; however, may go on to include others.
In the history of Turkey since 1923, it has been the first time bringing a concern; does Turkey has lack of confident to its security forces?
