I think you should read a bit more into the history of those institutions. They do great investigative journalism from time to time, and can be quite brutal in their criticism of their respective governments in the domestic sphere more specifically and also the fact that they can sometimes even...

Hi Afif, Republics and democracies have various mechanisms of including large swathes of the population in the political process and hence working as relief valves to prevent pent-up pressure from leading to crisis and chaos by making groups think they have or could potentially have a stake in...

https://www.trthaber.com/haber/gundem/turk-silahli-kuvvetleri-personel-kanunu-tbmmde-kabul-edildi-863316.html I was planning to arrange a summer vacation for the coming days to join in on the protests about this; then I looked around and there's absolute silence. Are there people living in that...

The guy is dying; there are groupings inside the cult. One of the weaker groupings is trying to claim leadership after his death so they are trying to win over some of the foot soldiers (and those in prisons) by giving them hope about a "clean" core which was corrupted by only a limited gang...

Following politics in this country can eat up to 5 hours of each day.

How do you friggin add a poll in this forum? Tried all the different BB code and html and stuff.

https://www.computerworld.com/article/1635172/chinese-made-7nm-chips-in-huawei-phone-raise-questions-over-us-export-ban.html Keep in mind this is still made with DUV machines, with a sort of tinkering to reach the limits of what duvs can offer. It's not as efficient as EUV 7nm chips (and the...

Thanks for the rundown. Really didn't expect Hurjet to do acrobatic shit with the first prototype, brought tears to my eyes; also saw it will be competing in Spain for their F-5 replacements. Thanks for the well wishes also. I had a chronic kind of pain in my belly for a couple of weeks but as...

yeah, thanks. Been recuperating for more than two weeks, just had to sort out lots of other stuff before getting into my routine of checking the forums daily lol.

nope S400s. They've proven to be very underwhelming indeed.

hi guys, been away for a month or even more? (lost sense of time because of a long stay in hospital). What's been going on over here? I just logged into twitter for the first time in like 40 days and my feed is completely fucked. All irrelevant stuff, posts from people I don't follow, stupid...

that's just an ahistorical fairy tale. Back in 2014, during çözüm süreci, it was effectively akpkk (much more than it is chpkk now), and chp was fielding Ekmeleddin the arch-islamist. EVEN THEN, the akp islamist base chose akp over chp. so this story about how the akp voter doesn't vote for chp...

I'm for banning of any separatist political party like DEM. Is it doable now having seen the ruckus because of banning one mayor? Who has created the atmosphere that such an action which was common place before 2009, is unthinkable now? If the judiciary went that route, would anyone believe that...

Well, you're saying pretending to be democratic and having respect for rule of law is the first step in the slippery slope of giving parts of the country to the terrorist group; that happened during AKP rule not because they started off with pretending to be democratic and having respect for...

They are doing the bare minimum to win Kurdish votes (they are just putting forward liberal arguments for rule of law, not supporting the candidate or anything or having clandestine relations with PKK unlike AKP). The onus is on AKP and the mockery of our judicial system which they purged and...

Such incompetence. They let this horrendous guy off the hook in 2022 (after he was going for hunger strikes saying Ocalan is being treated badly in prison or some shit) so after he wins they take over because they knew they have the guy's sympathies in bright daylight and they can get popular...

They obviously do that so they can take over after the election; if they don't allow them to run in the first place, opposition may take the municipality and you don't have the same excuses against them.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-why-erdogan-akp-lost-local-elections I've heard this argument a lot that "9% decrease in voter turnout from 2023 is all akp voters". If you add YRP, BBP, Hudapar to MHP and AKP votes, you get like 47.7%. If all or majority of 9% decrease in turnout was...

If it was Turkey, the Economist and Washington Post and all the rest would be stirring up a tempest in a teapot. But if it is UAE, Armenia or someone else, mum's the word.
