Two worlds in Turkey They clash after Imamoglou’s political persecution and his detention: political Islam against Kemalism. Everything was tuned, as shortly before the mayor of Constantinople was deprived of his freedom and his degree. THE Imamoglou He had predicted it. On Sunday, the Republican Party was scheduled to appoint him a candidate for the presidential election. As it did, but in completely different conditions. Imamoglu is the politician who is estimated to unite the Turkish opposition. Ankara Mayor Mansour Yavas is calling for early elections and developments are stormy, and he is now allegedly investigating corruption. No one knows if, when Ekrem Imamoglu gets out of prison, he will be able to return to the City Hall. It is more likely to appoint a Commissioner. His imprisonment will have left a “stigma”, while complaints of corruption and relationships with the PKK will be maintained.

There are many extensions of this action to the neighboring country, as democracy has been in danger. There is not many forces to condemn what has happened in Turkey in recent days. Especially for the US, no one expected anything different from Donald Trump when the Republic is also tested there. The lukewarm reaction of the State Department showed a clear tolerance. The Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidanvisits Washington today and tomorrow and it is not excluded soon on the other side of the Atlantic to be found and the Tayyip Erdogan.

France and Germany were among the countries that made announcements in harsh direction. ‘Concessions to the rule of law are not tolerated’says the Greek side that made it known through the government spokesman yesterday that under the prevailing conditions the Supreme Cooperation Council in Ankara cannot be held. It is clear that Erdogan has analyzed the international context well. ‘Cleans’ his inner enemies Almost undisturbed with the opposite internal reactions that it considers manageable. Istanbul is burning outside the Town Hall every night, but Erdogan does not care. The arrests are many and if this climate continues there will be repression. It is not even the priority of the Old Epirus at the moment to put Turkey against it. Everything shows that neighbors will participate in European defense with an expanded role. There are financial upheavals, but the stock market has not suffered great damage, the pound is stabilizing and Bayram is approaching. What does this mean? How Turkey may soon return to everyday life by forgetting the prisoner mayor. This will at least try the Tayyip Erdogan.

Of course, the Turkish president has not forgotten that he himself began his great political career from a prisoner by the Kemalist state. He has “weighed” everything. Everything shows that his goal of dismantling the opposition and his belief that he can set limits on social mobilizations lead him to proceed with the plans he has processed. Polls showed a fall of AKP throughout the Turkish territory. The next goal, everything shows, is the Kurds’ compound in order to achieve the constitutional review and to be a candidate for the presidency again.

And in the past, Erdogan has expelled Kurdish mayors. But now things are different. Turkey from an authoritarian country seems to be officially transformed into a regime where political freedoms do not exist. Opposition should probably consider Plan B for the presidency that could be the Mansur. Europe, however, in this environment should not look for its own “alternative” in relation to the attitude it will take. As long as Turkey caresses, the reaction should be harsh to situations that shake the rule of law and threaten democratic institutions. Even with specific measures against Turkey that seems to be walking on a path of “Russianization” in the next elections. If social reactions continue for a long time, the EU It will be very difficult to turn their back on them. Erdogan seems to “pick” his next opponent Either by setting up early ballots or changing the Constitution.
