My humble piece on the latest developments in Turkey. It's impossible to capture everything in one piece but I tried to capture what's novel at this particular conjuncture. I tried to analyse Erdogan's actions beyond arrest of Imamoglu.
New blogpost on Eastminster ⚠️🚨⚠️ Our own PhD Researcher @arifekose.bsky.social analyses recent developments in Turkey 🇹🇷 including the imprisonment of Istanbul Mayor İmamoğlu and argues that Erdoğan aims at more than eliminating his strongest rival www.ueapolitics.org/2025/04/01/t...
