📌In her latest opinion piece,
@yaseminaydin.bsky.social

• Turkey fined $1.4B over secret oil deal. CHP says Erdoğan could face trial. “This is the first brick in the wall.”
→ The case might land at Turkey’s top court—where even the president can be prosecuted.

My latest on recent developments in Turkey:

Erdoğan’s “fear strategy” operates not only to silence dissenting political leaders but also to suppress broader social reflexes that could challenge authoritarian consolidation.

“Türkiye’nin içinde bulunduğu otoriter atmosfer, bireyleri yalnızlaştırmayı ve toplumsal bağları koparmayı hedefleyen bir stratejiyle şekilleniyor.
Yoksulluk bir norm haline gelirken, adaletsizlik sıradanlaşıyor. Bu atmosferde, dayanışma suç olarak görülüyor, bireyler birbirinden izole ediliyor.”

Two key questions come to mind for almost everyone:

• Will Bluesky, like X, bow to governments and block accounts?

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

Demokratik toplumlar, iç bölünmeleri aşmalı ve ortak değerler etrafında birleşmeli. Aksi takdirde, otoriter rejimlerin etkisi karşısında savunmasız kalacaklar.

Batı demokrasileri iç krizlerle uğraşırken, otoriter rejimler küresel güçlerini artırıyor. Çin, Peru'da Yeni İpek Yolu'nu güçlendiren bir liman açarken, Rusya ve Kuzey Kore'nin Ukrayna'daki iş birliği otoriter rejimlerin tehlikeli ittifakını gösteriyor.
