The Arrested Lawyers

A concise summary of how Erdogan and AKP misused the chance to make Turkey a regional power and a Muslim democracy.https://twitter.com/alonbenmeir/status/841061446813384704 …

Like most liberals, Hizmet/Gülen movement supported AKP hoping to make Turkey EU member and real democracy.But AKP turned it into autocracy!

I don't think so. AKP froze EU process in 2011 but GM continued to support. Esp in 2011 election supported clearly & strongly

Movement's support to AKP in 2011 election was based on Erdogan's promise that he will make civilian/democratic constitution! @Av_EvrenSEL

Can't agree on this. BC There was no democratic progression in 2010 amendment except individual application to TCC @ahamitbilici

I said 2011 election.Nevermind conclusion of Venice Commission on 2010 referendum was that:important step in right direction. @Av_EvrenSEL

Basic principle of the GM was self-possession but lost it in 2010. I think its reason was desire of controlling judiciary @ahamitbilici
