Nobel prize winner Orhan Pamuk explains what is going on in Turkey. 👇🏼
Very informative on what is happening in Turkey. Shocking to read about the level of decay in democratic rule by #Erdogan!
Yet also heartening to see so many people taking #democracy to the streets in #Turkey and quite a few other European countries.

I’ve never seen such clampdowns in Istanbul. Turkey’s democracy is fighting for its life | Orhan Pamuk
The jailing of President Erdoğan’s main political rival is the low point of a decade-long march towards autocracy – but the protesters aren’t done yet either, says writer Orhan Pamuk

It is a very sad day for Turkey and for everyone who had still hope for a democratic change. 😔
Huge news from Turkey: Ekrem İ̇mamoğlu, Istanbul’s popular mayor and Erdogan opponent has been detained alongside a long list of his political allies. This comes hours after his decades long university diploma was revoked; today long list of alleged crimes, claiming he leads a criminal organization.
