2,000 darbeci mi varmış? Muhalifleri sindiren, basını tek tipleştiren ve sadece Erdoğan’ın koltuğunu sağlamlaştıran “kontrollü darbe” hakkında böyle konuşmak sadece Erdoğan’a yarar. Erdoğan’ın Edirne Valisi olmaya mı talipsin @ozgurozelresmi.bsky.social @herkesicinchp.bsky.social ?

“Geçici Maslahatgüzar” olarak Dakka Büyükelçiliği'nde ülkeme hizmet etmekteyken 26 Temmuz 2016 sabahı hukuksuzca görevimden alıkondum. Tam 5 yıl sonra, yine bir 26 Temmuz gününde Beyaz Saray'ın karşısındaki uluslararası bir kurumda yeni görevime başladım. Ülkem adına üzgünüm.
