According to the AKP's official narrative, more than half of Turks are enemies of their own country.

One of these enemies is the psychiatrist Ahmet Koyuncu, a renowned scientist with several published articles in international journals, six academic books and one novel. Koyuncu is now facing up to two years in prison for insulting President Erdogan on Facebook. Koyuncu says he never insulted Erdogan, but that the indictment is putting his academic article and science on trial. The first hearing is set for March 18.
