To be fair with Western media, they are comparing him to European leaders like Merkel, Sholtz, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, François Hollande, etc.

So if you have such “leaders” as the benchmark, Erdogan can look like a mastermind…

Not only that, it's all because Türkiye has a better military, access to fresh water sources, control over bosphorus and is a bridge between east-west... all these attributes make Türkiye a geopolitical powerhouse. With that said the government has completely mismanaged these advantages in its attempt to cling into power.

A geographically critical position for sure, but two big issues (not speaking exclusively):

a) natural resources / energy independence
b) access to open ocean

The irony is that the Ottomans had by far the dominant hand over the Safavids throughout their history (maybe not always I only learn as much as satisfies my curiosities). If they had prioritized controlling the Iranian Plateau, and successfully held it, or at least configured it as a very culturally proximal society like the Balkan Muslim countries. The situation today may have been much more advantageous.

Mr. Cem Küçük: “Tomorrow is the big day, those who called for a boycott will be called to testify. Murat Daltaban, Emre Kınay and Aybüke Pusat are among those who will be called upon for the boycott call.”

I am almost certain that this journalist knows every single name to testify at every single case even before the DA but I can not prove it 😇

erdogan just like Christchurch massacre trying to use gaza to salvage some support from conservatives that he lost due to his recent actions and he shows he is willing to put us all into a diplomatic and geopolitical crisis so he could hold on to power just like he burn 25 billion dollar in 3 days to save his chair he doesnt care about people nor economy nor gaza only his power. these games are getting old

It's actually perfect, I know it works on pious people, but if anyone has a fragtion of brain their piousness will slowly rot, while they suffer economic woes. And in return they will become ateist, or start voting on anyone that promises them better future, as long as it's not the government and their allies.

Which in return will result in government prisoning opposition.

I don't think it even works on pious people anymore. Also Ali Erbaş looks like that one neighborhood pedophile that everyone knows about but pretends not to.

Varan Beş!


“Journalists Timur Soykan and Murat Ağırel were detained.”

Both journalists were known to prove the allegations against Mayor of Istanbul were fabrications and hearsay.

As increasingly getting usual with these detention cases now, although both informed the Istanbul DA’s office that they would be available in the morning to testify as they’re requested, they were, according to new norm, taken from their homes at “dawn raids” during wee small hours of the morning by the police as if they intended to run away.

Those so called dawn raids not only serve to strike fear among opponents, journalists in particular, but also give DA option of to treating suspects as criminals and they had to be brought to detention under force rather than show up voluntarily for questioning.

Opposition describes this tactic as implementation of the law of the enemy (org: The Feindstrafrecht "Criminal Law of the Enemy") which describes certain people, as enemies of the society (or the state) and as such, do not deserve the protections of the civil or penal law.

Mr. Ağırel’s message while he was taken under custody

Another reason why the opposition is not any better than the ruling party and nothing in Türkiye will change with a change of the regime.
I find it still hilarious how most of the opposition parties united before the last presidential election and after many meetings they decided to put forward KK as their candidate, who lost several elections before that. And people still expect something from this opposition.
And not to forget how the youth reacted before and after the opposition put KK forward, from "I hope that old loser doesn't become a candidate." to "We love you Gramps, you are so sympathetic.".

Religious Affairs Directorate's Fatwa: “The one who determines prices, grants scarcity and abundance, is Allah.”
Such social media posts are the product of an organized manipulation campaign.

It has been determined that a hadith included in a fatwa issued by the High Council of Religious Affairs of the Directorate of Religious Affairs in 2017 has been taken out of context and used manipulatively.

The hadith mentioned in the fatwa, “The one who determines prices, grants scarcity and abundance, and provides sustenance is only Allah. I do not wish to meet my Lord while any of you has a rightful claim against me due to a wrongdoing I committed against his property or life,” was deliberately distorted in 2022 to link it with current events.

As seen in the examples below, it has been determined that the same manipulation campaign—conducted using exactly the same wording on different dates—is being attempted once again today by many social media accounts under the same headline and in an organized manner.

Do not give credence to unfounded claims aimed at manipulating public opinion. ⬇️

This is not a social media message posted by any opposition parties official accounts.
It’s only a twitter from a private account.
And you take this as a proof of a futile effort and concluded that “Another reason why the opposition is not any better than the ruling party and nothing in Türkiye will change with a change of the regime.”

Bro, I wish I had half of confidence you have.

Wait, when there is a twitter post in favour of the ruling party, it will be labled as a troll account, but when it is against the ruling party, "It’s only a twitter from a private account". Got it, you gave me another reason.
