Critics of Erdogan accused him of using the failed putsch as a pretext to quash all forms of dissent, while Turkey said the measures were necessary to maintain national security.
"We expect that tensions caused by the state of emergency will now disappear with some of our western friends. This period was crucial for purging terrorist elements who had infiltrated in many layers of our state apparatus," said a government source to Xinhua requesting not to be named.
Although the state of emergency is lifted, the Turkish government does not intend to give up its fighting against "circles who do not want a democratic Turkey to flourish," the source pointed out.
He revealed that the AKP has submitted a draft security law to the parliament which will be put into effect for three years after the expected approval next week.
In line with these new regulations, local governors have been given more power to decide on the removal of public employees in certain positions in the provincial institutions, if someone was suspected of "disrupting the public order."
For the next three years, the Turkish government will still be able to sack or dismiss public workers over charges of "terrorism" threats. The draft has also added rationales to ban demonstrations.
Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul insisted on Monday that even though the state of emergency was to end, it wouldn't mean the end of anti-terrorist combat.
