IFJ - INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF JOURNALIST Turkey is no longer a state governed by the rule of law. While the AKP government is trying to legally detain Ekrem İmamoğlu, the Mayor of Istanbul and Presidential Candidate, they have now launched an investigation into Mansur Yavaş, the Mayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, the main opposition party's second presidential candidate, and will arrest him as well. In other words, the government wants to deprive the main opposition party of its candidates. The goal is to prevent the AKP from leaving power. They are applying all kinds of pressure, in other words, to run for elections with a single candidate. The rival candidates, the highly elected candidates, are being eliminated. What I don't understand is the silence of European governments. I studied in Sweden, and if there was an act against democracy in Sweden, they would react no matter where in the world. Germany, France, England, and others always say they defend democracy, but when it comes to mutual interest, they see nothing. They act according to their own interests. At least the illegality experienced in Türkiye is the press. This is not even mentioned in the article. I don't think what is being done is normal, but we are trying to explain the situation to the world as best we can.

Türkiye: Authorities must end unlawful proceedings against the Istanbul Bar Association 29 Jan 2025 | Advocacy, News istanbul-bar-e1736938363638 The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) expresses concern over the criminal proceedings initiated against the Istanbul Bar Association, including its President, İbrahim Kaboğlu, and members of its executive board. The ICJ further condemns the detention of Fırat Epözdemir, a member of the executive board, who was arrested upon his return from an advocacy visit to Council of Europe institutions. These actions constitute a direct attack on the independence of the legal profession and the rule of law in Türkiye. The criminal proceedings were initiated following a statement issued by the Istanbul Bar Association on 21 December 2024, which called for an independent investigation into the deaths of journalists Nazım Daştan and Cihan Bilgin, who were killed in northern Syria on 19 December 2024. The statement highlighted concerns regarding the...

DONYA TURKISH NEWS / WORLD TURKISH NEWS: Canada IFJ - INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF JOURNALIST. I have been a freelance journalist for twenty-five years, writing articles and news, and I never use a press card. My goal is to write only the truth and facts. To let people know what they don't hear, to show them what they don't see. Now, fake diploma gangs have emerged in Turkey. They have given fake diplomas to thousands of people. Some are professors, some are judges, some are engineers. These events are making headlines on TV. I spent years struggling to study, and now diplomas are being sold for money, and those who receive them work for the government. Isn't this journalistic news? The AKP Chairman's diploma is also questionable. Aren't these newsworthy? Thirty-five years ago, Ekrem İmamoğlu's well-deserved diploma was revoked just so he wouldn't be a candidate. Will those who received it be subjected to the same...
