Turkey’s Gift From God
Posted by: Marc Pierini
Monday, January 30, 2017
Speaking on July 16, 2016, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that the failed coup the previous night was a “gift from God” that would allow him to cleanse the army and the state of terrorists. Turkey’s post-coup purge had the most extensive scope imaginable. Not only rebellious officers were targeted but also scores of opponents—real or perceived—in local administration, the media, schools and universities, culture, and business. In addition, the government set in motion a massive crackdown on dissent and social media, and so-called enemies of the state from within and outside were routinely denounced.

Is Erdogan A Russian Ally Or Putin's Puppet?
Is Erdogan A Russian Ally Or Putin's Puppet?
Anna Borshchevskaya ,
Russian and Turkish strongmen Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan appear closer than ever. For years Erdogan opposed Putin’s position on Syria, and demanded that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad must go. No longer does Erdogan voice this demand. To the contrary, upon conclusion of the latest Syria talks in Astana on January 24, Putin and Erdogan only moved closer by agreeing, together with Iran, to jointly fight ISIS and al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat Fatah al-Sham. Russian and Western press reports indicate Turkey and Russia already launched joint strikes in Syria.

Will presidential referendum save Turkey's democracy?
Will presidential referendum save Turkey's democracy?
A package of constitutional amendments that would dramatically expand the powers of Turkey’s president won the support of 339 deputies in the 550-member parliament Jan. 21, surpassing the 60% threshold (330 votes) required to submit the draft to a referendum. Backed by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its de facto partner, the Nationalist Action Party (MHP), the bill is supposed to be put to a public vote within two months of the president’s approval, meaning Turkish voters will be going to the polls no later than the third week of April.

Turkey’s military is contracting under Erdogan’s regime too
posted at 12:31 pm on January 23, 2017 by Jazz Shaw
Just yesterday we looked at the fact that the Turkish lira has lost roughly one third of its value since President Recep Tayyip Erdogan began consolidating his power into what amounts to a tyrannical regime. Their once thriving private sector economy is fading and many stores now sit empty, with foreign businesses being less willing to risk operating there. But it’s not just the economy which is suffering these effects. A new report from Der Spiegel reveals that Turkey’s once mighty military is also losing strength and the cause is almost entirely the fault of the president and his post-coup policies.
