Good evening, friends.

I am Tamer, but you may call me Eve.

I am an international student currently in the states, and I can say that we are not too few in terms of Turkish people immigrating to the USA to either work, or study.

My visa is currently in the F1 category, and I am trying to get myself a proper American citizenship, for I do not believe the situation in Turkey is getting any better.

I was in the Gezi protests, and I was outside during the coup attempt.

But with these recent news, I guarantee you, we are distressed beyond one's imagination.

This is only the first step, the current Turkish government that I nigh despise is more stubborn than a toddler, to the point our Prime Minister called the Prime Minister of Germany a nazi.

I'd agree, this really isn't our fault, but it seems like we'll be the ones who get hurt, even though our votes never sided with Erdogan.

We wish for nothing but your awareness.

Thank you kindly.

In the meantime, feel free to ask me any questions about Turkey itself. ^^

At the time the clashes were being reported, it was still not clear why Turkey-led militias in northern Aleppo – hitherto well unified under Turkish Army command – had engaged in clashes with one another.

Turkish teacher Mesut Kaçmaz and his family, who were abducted from their home at a midnight in Lahore on September 27, were reportedly deported by Pakistani government to Turkey on early Saturday just two days before their scheduled appearance before a Pakistani court on Monday. According to information given by the friends and colleagues of Mesut Kaçmaz, he and his family were deported to Turkey early Saturday. Mesut Kaçmaz and his wife Meral Kaçmaz were reportedly transferred to Ankara for interrogation. They were blindfolded and boarded on an unmarked flight from Islamabad for İstanbul in the morning on October 14, 2017. It was learned that teenaged daughters of Kaçmaz Couple have not been detained and reportedly staying with a relative in İstanbul. In a similar incident in Malaysia, some Turkish educators and entrepreneurs were intimidated, abducted and illegally handed over to Turkey at the request of the Erdoğan’s autocratic regime. Turkey has suspended or dismissed more than 150,000 judges, teachers, police and civil servants since July 15. Turkey’s Justice Ministry announced on July 13 that 50,510 people have been arrested and 169,013 have been the subject of legal proceedings on coup charges since the failed coup.

The four members of the Kaçmaz Family, who have been under the protection of the UNHCR were abducted on September 27 at around 2:30 a.m. by 15 armed and plain-clothed people, assumed to be Pakistani law enforcement or intelligence agents. The perpetrators blindfolded and hooded Mr. and Mrs. Kaçmaz along with their two teenaged daughters. However, the Lahore High Court had decided on September 28 that no action should be taken until a decision to be given by a court on October 6. It should also be noted that the abduction of the family had taken place by disregarding an earlier Lahore High Court decision preventing harassment of Turkish asylum-seeking teachers and their families across Pakistan. Pakistani authorities had kept the place of detention secret and therefore Kaçmaz family has not been seen by anyone including their lawyers. Pakistani government has not make any explanation either.
