General Mayhem guides Turkey’s media repression


The censorship and arrests that characterise Erdoğan’s rule are as chaotic as they are intimidating. That makes them all the more alarming. On the latest count, there are now 126 journalists in Turkey’s jails – more than China, Iran and Egypt put together. And 2,500 or so Turkish writers, editors and broadcasters have lost their jobs since the coup that failed.

Turkey under the Islamist Erdogan/AKP regime should not ascend to EU membership.

They no longer wish to, I think.

Dangerous COA: Erdogan's first trip after the Coup was to Russia. Russia which does not judge you for what you have to do internally. A Duterte-style "rebalancing" between the West and the West's major geopolitical foe from Turkey would have.... strategic consequences.
