De ontmoeting met Poetin stond al gepland, al ruim voor de staatsgreep op 7 juli:

Yenikapı Metro dotted with photos of democracy martyrs

The walls of the Yenikapı Metro Station were dotted with the photographs of those who died during the July 15 coup attempt, ahead of a grand democracy rally on Sunday.

Two-hundred and forty-seven people died across the country, victims of military officers linked to the Gülenist Terror Organization (FETÖ).

The government has already issued a directive announcing that the families of those who died will be receiving the benefits of martyrs. Many thousands who were injured during the coup attempt will also receive benefits. Millions who attended Sunday's rally were able to see the photos of the martyrs, with many finding it hard to hold back tears.

The July 15 coup attempt was foiled when tens of thousands of people took to the streets to defend Turkey's democratically elected government. The events left at least 239 martyrs, and nearly 2,200 injuries.

The Turkish government has said the coup was organized by followers of U.S.-based Fetullah Gülen and the Gülenist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).

Gülenists have long been suspected of trying to fully control the Turkish state by infiltrating key institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary, in a long-running campaign dating back to the 1980s.

Erdogan wil gewoon geen Meneer Kaktus show op TV in Turkije.

Kan een van de aanwezigen vertalen wat er nou precies staat?

Ja, zoals het artikel zegt heeft iemand zijn foto misbruikt hiervoor. Maar wat er allemaal exact staat, staat er weer niet.

Istanbul rally marks milestone in Turkish history

According to estimates, more than 3 million people gathered in the Yenikapı area of Istanbul on Aug. 7 in order to demonstrate their unity against the military coup attempt of July 15.

That is a record participation at a political rally in Turkey. It equals almost 4 percent of the country’s population and more than the entire populations of a number of European countries.

It is also a first regarding the degree of the participation. The leaders of three big parties in parliament, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım of the Justice and Development Party (AK Parti), Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu of the social democratic main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and Devlet Bahçeli of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) were there responding to the call by President Tayyip Erdoğan. No party flags and banners were carried except Turkish flags; there were a few flags of Azerbaijan and Turkish Cyprus, but many Turks do not consider them foreign flags anyway.

It was not a picture which the perpetrators of the failed coup attempt had expected.

The political polarization in Turkey reached a maximum before July 15. The country was under terrorist attacks by two notorious organizations, the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL). Perhaps that picture had whetted the appetite of those who staged the coup attempt; it was thwarted with the resistance of the leadership in the presidency and in parliament, the government and the opposition and on the streets – especially on the streets. It was also thwarted especially when parties, government and opposition, started to point the finger at Fethullah Gülen, the Turkish Islamist preacher living in the U.S., as the mastermind of the coup plotters. Gen. Hulusi Akar who was kidnapped by the officers in his own military brass that night, directly accused Gülen as being the leader of the terrorist group behind the attempt in a speech he delivered at the Istanbul rally.

This picture of unity against the coup attempt and demand for a democratic system do not mean that the opposition parties have abandoned their criticism of Erdoğan and the AK Parti, but it means they want to solve the problems of Turkish democracy by staying within democracy, not by destroying it with a military coup.

It was not just Turkey’s religious affairs director, Mehmet Görmez, who recited prayers for the 240 people killed by the pro-coup soldiers during the attempt, who called the rally the “birth” of a new period for Turkey.

It is not clear yet whether this spirit of unity and understanding in politics will continue during the talks to amend the constitution for the restructuring of the Turkish state. But the Istanbul rally of Aug. 7 marked a milestone in Turkish politics – hopefully toward a better democracy and a stronger economy in the country.

Die mensen laten zich voor het karretje van Erdogan spannen en die is duidelijk de realiteit weer even uit oog verloren en denkt de hele wereld aan te kunnen. Nu gaat hij weer met een andere demagoog smoezen waar hij laatst nog bijna slaande ruzie mee had. De toekomst van Turkije ziet er slecht uit terwijl het net leek alsof het land eindelijk modern zou kunnen worden. In plaats van verder ontwikkelen worden bijna alle opgeleide mensen weggejaagd of opgesloten, de achterlijke ongeschoolde meerderheid is actief geworden, de mensen die niet geleerd hebben kritisch te denken maar blind een leider te volgen. De sprookjes die hun vertelt worden slikken ze voor zoete koek, de vraag is welke sprookjes Erdogan allemaal gaat verzinnen en wie er slachtoffer van gaan worden.

Helaas niet voor de mensen die nu zonder enige bewijs worden opgesloten en ontslagen omdat Erdogan ze als politieke tegenstander is gaan zien waarmee afgerekend wordt.

Alleen praat je hier niet over eieren maar over mensen die slachtoffer zijn van een politieke zuivering en schending van de mensenrechten. In dit geval geldt dus dat men de rechtsstaat om zeep aan het helpen is, een dictatoriale macht geeft aan één man/partij en daarnaast een groot deel van de vrijheid van meningsuiting aan het beperken is en de mensen bang aan het maken is. Een doodstraf met een politiek gedomineerde rechtsspraak en handhaving is een garantie voor jarenlange chaos in het land.
