À lire dans le dernier numéro de @revue_xxi: mon enquête sur les "chasseurs de trésors" en Turquie qui pillent les tombes et les églises arméniennes dans l'espoir de trouver des objets de valeur qui auraient été enterrés lors du génocide de 1915.
Turkey’s culture ministry dresses its building in Paris’s famous Champs-Èlysèes at a time when millions in Europe watched how Turkish police brutally dispersed young, democracy yearning protesters gathered to protest the arrest of President Erdoğan’s lead rival in next elections.

«C’est notre baroud d’honneur pour défendre la démocratie» : en Turquie, les manifestations de soutien au maire d’Istanbul prennent une ampleur inédite

After weeks of intense pressure from government circles, Turkey’s oldest university has annulled the college diploma of the opposition’s frontrunner and current mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, in a blatant attempt to block his presidential bid.
This move is a clear indication that Erdoğan fears an İmamoğlu candidacy and acknowledges that he may lose the election—even in an already skewed political landscape.
If the annulment decision is upheld by the Constitutional Court, it would mark Turkey’s further descent into a hegemonic authoritarian regime where government turnover is no longer possible through the ballot box.
