A total of 11,285 teachers were suspended over alleged links with the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK), Turkish Education Ministry announced on Thursday.
The announcement came after Prime Minister Binali Yildirim's remarks last Monday that all teachers having links to the PKK terrorist organization will be suspended.
Speaking in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir, which has been repeatedly targeted by PKK terrorist attacks, Yildirim said an estimated 14,000 teachers in the region are somehow associated with terrorism.
Also on Thursday, Yildirim called on provincial governors to take steps against elements in eastern and southeastern Turkish municipalities "that are linked to terrorism."
At a governors' meeting in the capital Ankara, Yildirim, citing a recent statutory decree, said governors "have been fully authorized" to do what is necessary in the case of "municipalities that are linked to terrorism," according to Anadolu Agency.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Turkey.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
