I saw a speech by the editor of the main opposition media company, Zaman, after it was raided and taken over by Erdogan’s thugs 3 years ago. He was lucky to get himself and his family out alive. Turkey has no business in NATO, it is an autocracy. I predict these election results are ignored.

Yes, I’m familiar with Zaman.
Here is another extremely well connected Turkish Journalist who is exiled in Findland. He was top of one of the largest papers in Turkey before the coup. Just squeaked out before he was arrested. It has lasted far longer than he expected. He fully understands what is happening.
