"President Tayyip Erdogan, who won another five-year term in a June 24 election and also gained sweeping new powers under a constitutional overhaul, has promised not to renew the state of emergency after its expiry on July 18."

I actually donate platelets. It's the easiest way to get myself to focus on movies I ought see

i did my POSC final on Turkey potentially joining the EU before i started to hate the EU and i cannot stand Erdogan

neat

Turkey is just in a weird place in the history of politics

https://www.ft.com/content/512ae196-8132-11e8-bc55-50daf11b720d I wonder if this would be of interest to Tim?

Its politics has always been crazy

Ive been watching it more since that paper

Erdogan likes to consolidate his power whenever possible

heres another

It'd be interesting, but I think Tim's built up his name enough that he can't do any investigating directly

aaah so apparently they are connected to who Erdogans blaiming for the coup

thats true

I cant wait until I move I'll be so happy to leave this company

although just making a quick vid or something would be nice

get people aware

tbh im suspicious of that coup

It'd be a vid comparing actual persecution of the press to the US media play, to be honest

I wrote about it AS it was happening and how itd effect theyre joing the EU

That's if the EU lasts

thats fine with me
