Erdoğan’ın keyif duyacağı türden konuşmalar bunlar. Bu tür konuşmalar Erdoğan’la örtülü anlaşma mesajları içeriyor gibi görünüyor. Geçmiş olsun @ekremimamoglu.com , @dkimamoglu.bsky.social

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 ?

2,352 years in prison — no proof, no justice. Just like the #July15 trials and #KHK persecutions. Authoritarian theater, not law. #ErdoganRegime #Turkey
