How can I express my dismissal from public service in my academic resume? I'm planning to apply to a number of university (public policy) programs in US and I do not know how to express my dismissal from public service following the political turmoil in Turkey. I was dismissed with a decree law, no charges, without being questioned like tens of thousands. How can I state this situation?
Also, how can I include the gap resulted after dismissal?
I think that under the circumstances you can just tell it truthfully and completely. The recent political turmoil in Turkey was widely reported here, and I think most people would both understand and sympathize with it. 

You might also point to the fact that you weren't alone and that the dismissals had nothing to do with the competence of those dismissed. There are plenty of news stories that could be noted. 

We aren't perfect here, but so far, our political institutions are holding up.
