      Green passport extra security checks (saw people waiting for 6-8 hours at airports for clearance) apply to all green passport holders.

      Additionally, academics are all told to show up at work; that leaves and foreign trips are cancelled; and those abroad may be called back.

      Many academics—who are state employees with certain level of seniority—have those green passports. So two issues intertwined.

      Official statement for academics. Foreign trips cancelled "till further notice", those abroad "may" be called back. http://yok.gov.tr/web/guest/akademisyenleri-yurt-disina-cikisi-durduruldu …

      If this holds for long, this will obviously be a horrible blow to academic work as travel is essential. But it's not a GDR type ban.

      That is correct. This category used to have visa free travel to Europe; a huge benefit. Now, they have extra step. https://twitter.com/kumruberfin/status/755810938922602496 …

      Okay, "effectively banned foreign travel for civil servants" is what I'm going with. Accurate?

      Yes. All leaves of state employees seem cancelled at the moment. So travel ban is effectively "show up or be fired."https://twitter.com/akcayerol/status/755811067230552064 …

      But, you can travel if you can get your institution to give you a leave anyway; or if you are on official business not cancelled.

          There is/has long been absolutely a problem with academic freedom, and university leadership.
