In or Out? Europe & Turkey: Still Complicated |UNFRAMED by @yaseminaydin.bsky.social ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLC3...

📌In her latest opinion piece, @yaseminaydin.bsky.social argues that the death of 73-year-old Alzheimer’s patient İbrahim Güngör in prison is “a cultural performance of cruelty, a deliberate spectacle by an authoritarian regime that uses the suffering of the vulnerable to communicate power.”

• Erdoğan’s new “peace process” looks like an election ploy. → CHP warns: “If this is just about giving Erdoğan more power, we won’t be a part of it.” What's Happening in Turkey | Week 36 - Part 3

• Turkey’s economy is crashing—bankruptcies are surging, inflation’s out of control, and now Erdoğan may sack his finance chief. → Mehmet Şimşek’s days could be numbered. Cevdet Yılmaz is waiting in the wings. What's Happening in Turkey | Week 36 - Part 2

• Turkey fined $1.4B over secret oil deal. CHP says Erdoğan could face trial. “This is the first brick in the wall.” → The case might land at Turkey’s top court—where even the president can be prosecuted. What's Happening in Turkey | Week 36 - Part 1

My latest- and yes, as a third generation Turkish German I am concerned:

My latest on recent developments in Turkey: Erdoğan’s “fear strategy” operates not only to silence dissenting political leaders but also to suppress broader social reflexes that could challenge authoritarian consolidation.

📌Erdoğan rejimi, CHP gibi köklü bir siyasi partiyi hedef alarak sadece partiyi değil, partiyi destekleyen toplumsal kesimleri de izole etmeyi hedefliyor. @yaseminaydin.bsky.social ’ın analizi⤵️ boldmedya.com/2025/01/14/k...

Why Were Trump's Comments Censored in Ankara? | Tarık Toros | What's Happening in Turkey | 12 Jan 25 youtu.be/3XaJ4j_54zM

• İstanbul'da gözaltı dalgası • İmamoğlu için çember daralıyor • DEM'e "terörden" CHP'ye "rüşvet/yolsuzluktan" işlem • Bir cisim İBB'ye yaklaşıyor • Özel, bilinçli biçimde iktidarı yargı ve kolluktan ayrıştırıyor • MHP aylar önce kayyım ajandasını duyurmuş ..MANŞET farkıyla youtu.be/2TvCctHzh_k

“Türkiye’nin içinde bulunduğu otoriter atmosfer, bireyleri yalnızlaştırmayı ve toplumsal bağları koparmayı hedefleyen bir stratejiyle şekilleniyor. Yoksulluk bir norm haline gelirken, adaletsizlik sıradanlaşıyor. Bu atmosferde, dayanışma suç olarak görülüyor, bireyler birbirinden izole ediliyor.”

Thank you so much Tarik Toros for summering ‘What’s Happening in Turkey’ which is, as always a lot, including #Haringey arrests in London this week. With events in Syria escalating, follow @tariktoros.bsky.social for helpful commentary and insight as things continue to develop

Social media has become a vital space for free expression in #Turkey amidst increasing restrictions. In 'What’s Happening in Turkey,' @tariktoros.bsky.social highlights the potential of platforms like Bluesky to support independent journalism and truth-sharing. A must-watch. #MediaFreedom #Bluesky

#Europe #Merz #EU As #Europe faces rising populism, Friedrich Merz's vision for the EU's future must balance economic reform with a compelling narrative of unity and diversity. Leaders should counter nationalism without legitimizing its rhetoric- My oped:

In my latest op-ed, I analyze the collapse of the "traffic light" coalition and its implications for Germany and Europe. From rising populism to the future of democratic governance, what lies ahead? turkishminute.com/2024/11/19/o... #Germany #populism #Europe

Two key questions come to mind for almost everyone: • What will Elon Musk do to prevent the migration from X? • Will Bluesky, like X, bow to governments and block accounts?

This week on What’s Happening in Turkey-A must-watch by @tariktoros.bsky.social Erdoğan’s foreign agent law sparks backlash Investigations intensify against Istanbul & Ankara mayors Trump’s new cabinet raises concerns in Ankara #Turkey #Politics #WhatsHappeningInTurkey #TarıkToros

This week’s top stories from Turkey: * The return of the controversial 'foreign influence agent law.' * Investigations into presidential candidates. * Turkey’s response to Trump’s new cabinet. #Turkey #Politics #WhatsHappeningInTurkey #WeeklyPodcast #SundayUpdate youtu.be/2tdA_p-alnU

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

Batı demokrasileri iç krizlerle uğraşırken, otoriter rejimler küresel güçlerini artırıyor. Çin, Peru'da Yeni İpek Yolu'nu güçlendiren bir liman açarken, Rusya ve Kuzey Kore'nin Ukrayna'daki iş birliği otoriter rejimlerin tehlikeli ittifakını gösteriyor.

Opposition and democratic channels should be supported. Platforms that bow to the wishes of dictators for money should be deprived of the interests they fear the most.

The growing alignment of X with governmental censorship, especially in the case of Turkey, highlights the urgent need for alternative platforms like Bluesky.
