In a first in #Turkey’s modern history, a former PM and FM, Professor Ahmet Davutoglu, was summoned to testify at a prosecutor’s office over his criticism of President Erdogan. This is the lowest of the lows in Turkey’s already bleak record on democracy and rule of law.
Turkey marks the 10th anniversary of a controversial coup that remade 🇹🇷 beyond recognition. Below is a snapshot of what has followed since then. Please read @hasimtekines's timely review to understand how 🇹🇷 went off the rails in all charts of democracy and rule of law.
For ten years, Turkish courts tried thousands over the events of July 15, 2016. Thousands of pages of testimony, digital evidence, and official correspondence have emerged. I wrote a short overview of what a decade of evidence tells us about that night.
Grateful to @LatifErkan6 for his generous support.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
