Nuray Mert should be happy. The columnist who has been writing recently about a possible civilian dictatorship (AKP one party regime) should feel satisfied with the latest Constitutional Court decision that assures military tutelage…

I don’t understand why people who are against military coups cannot, at the same time, be worried about the signs of creeping autocratic civilian rule? This is democratic vigilance, pure and simple. Your comments about Nuray Mert are vicious and totally unfair.
I don’t think people who are trying to make sense of what is going on in Turkey through your selections are getting a fair and balanced picture.
I know that you can do better. You should try.
Well, it is an honor for me to get the attention of a credible columnist and media scholar, although this attention acts like a hit:) I don’t believe there can be a balanced or fair picture. All of our positions are politically positioned. We cannot escape from them.
But we can make the effort. That is what makes us a dignified human being and an honest intellectual. You too can try.
