The people who’ve sat silently for the last century while their government has been oppressing all minorities in their country are now reaping what they sowed.
A nation that justifies genocide of its own fellow citizens justifies any level of oppression to their people. They already gave their government a pass to do unspeakable atrocities. They’ll just call protestors traitors and good people will start disappearing.
Edit: this is in no way justifying the mistreatment of Turkish protestors. It’s just showing how having a weakened moral system is a breeding ground for tyranny. This is how genocide apologists harm Turks themselves—they set the ground for justifying any tyranny.
True enough, but can they come back from the present stifling of freedoms?
As long as Erdogan does what EU wishes, they’ll say absolutely NOTHING!
And some westoids come here, pour their Turkish hate by excusing Erdogan.
NY Times have no problem writing the truth when it comes foreign autocrats, but where are their balls when it comes to writing about their domestic one?
Both-sideism, fear and pandering to the beast…
Come on…they are totally fine with autocracy (like MOST people are). They are just arguing about the price.
Erdogan needs to pay more if he wants to stay on the throne.
I hope you will support Serbian students and youth the same way. Majority of the comments here call them Russian puppets and what not
Turkey is a classic case of the ‘Boomerang Theory’ in action, tactics used to oppress people in another country- or even minorities within your own country will eventually come for you. Far right parties everywhere else will do the same once they’re in power
