11.08.2021 12:36 Erdoğan’s ‘white meat’ comment places money over lives The forests on the coasts of Turkey have been burning for days. This catastrophe not only causes harm to the environment but is developing grave economic and social consequences. However, in his recent remarks, it appears that if Erdoğan does not see the death of wildlife as “economic harm,” he does not see it at all. 30.06.2021 12:27 AKP gov't caught between TÜSİAD and MHP Turkey is on the brink of an inevitable transformation. This transformation will have consequences that affect the whole country and the opposition; but in the short term, the effect will be seen within the governing alliance. The tension between the MHP and TÜSİAD is at the crux of this conflict. 11.05.2021 11:22 Caviar becomes cocaine in Turkey The leader of a criminal group, Sedat Peker, filmed some videos abroad and posted them online recently. They are going viral in Turkey as they reveal that the state-mafia-politics triangle continues to this day uninterrupted. We’re not witnessing the beginning of a fight; we’re witnessing the end. The regime is not dying because it has been poisoned; poison is leaking into society because the regime is dying. 12.04.2021 11:28 Who will govern Turkish capitalism and how? While the class coalition that has formed the Erdoğan regime is now disintegrating leading to significant results; in the words of prominent economist Korkut Boratav, the “overdue” government is trying to toughen and win the fight over who will govern Turkish capitalism. On the other hand, the importance of every small resistance, every challenge to workers and young people keeps increasing. 26.11.2020 11:36 National projects, foreign capital and Turkish workers Turkey today is split between two groups of people. The first group is selling fake “local and national” products by trying to facilitate foreign investment. This first group affirms its nationalism through street bullies and mafia bosses. The second group of people are those who are subjected to violence by official forces while seeking their most fundamental rights. It is a country divided between foreign and local capital. 17.07.2020 09:16 From July 15 to Hagia Sophia: Turkey’s road to capitalism The current Islamic-nationalist coalition is no political Frankenstein that came out of the blue. Rather, it is the organic product of Turkey’s capitalism for the past 40 years. This causal relation from which it benefits and gains most of its support, is at the same time its Achilles’s heel. 27.06.2020 10:54 Money and support lost in the course of political Islam The veterans and family members of the deceased from the coup attempt in July 2016 who were trying to learn what happened to all the donations collected in their names were beaten in front of the ruling AKP headquarters last week. This protest was small in terms of the number of participants but a giant event in terms of its meaning. 03.06.2020 09:47 The pro-Kurdish HDP’s document on the “new era” Instead of extensive and detailed expressions about the solution to the Kurdish issue, the document highlights an approach that can be summarized as a “peaceful” solution. Throughout the entire text, it stresses that Turkey’s real problem is the current administration system, which is described as the “institutionalization of fascism.” 19.03.2020 09:36 Dear boss, can workers also teleconference? Turkey finds itself amid an epidemic that threatens everyone indiscriminately, rich or poor. The ruling AKP, which came to power with a populist rhetoric catering to “those without a voice” is again helping the capital-owing class. While bosses are videoconferencing, workers are forced to work with no precautions. 15.10.2019 13:58 Turkey as the scene of Kadirova's murder Sometimes it is not a coincidence when a single criminal case ends up becoming a snapshot of the problems of an era. What occurred after the suspicious death of a 23-year-old woman shows us a picture of Turkey today, with its current labor regime, justice system, immigration policies, violence and discrimination against women, and privileges for those in power.
