Kavimler göçü adeta! O değil de bir terk ediyoruz. Bir geri dönüyoruz buraya. Sabitlense artık şu bluesky da rahata ersek :))

🔴 #Breaking: In a pre-dawn raid, Turkish police arrested Istanbul’s opposition mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, seen as a top challenger to Erdoğan in 2028, on corruption & terrorism charges. Protests banned, social media restricted. Before his arrest, he declared: "I entrust myself to my people." 👇👇👇

📍 Ankara, Turkey – On #InternationalWomensDay, women shut down one of the capital’s busiest streets, facing yet another police blockade. Chanting “Where was the police when women were killed?” & “Murdered women are our honour,” they push forward. #8M2025 #March8WomenDay

Trump hosted Zelensky, but his hardline stance signals a shift in US policy. Seems with military aid in question & pressure mounting on Ukraine, the balance may tip in Russia’s favour. Devastating to see such diplomatic crisis tbh! #Trump #Zelensky #Ukraine

9️⃣ A turning point? Öcalan’s message was clear: No more war, no more armed struggle. Will this be a historic peace deal or another failed attempt? Türkiye watches closely.

000

8️⃣ What’s next? If PKK agrees to dissolve, Türkiye could see an end to decades of armed conflict. This would also reshape Türkiye’s politics and security landscape.

7️⃣ How is the government reacting? President Erdoğan’s party is cautious but open. The key question: Will PKK actually lay down arms? Opposition parties are divided—some support peace, others call it a "betrayal."

100

6️⃣ What does this mean for PKK? The ball is now in PKK’s court. Öcalan’s influence is strong, but will all factions follow his order? Especially those in Syria (YPG) and Iraq (PÇDK)?

100

5️⃣ Who visited Öcalan? A delegation from Türkiye’s pro-Kurdish DEM Party, including prominent figures like Ahmet Türk and Pervin Buldan, went to İmralı prison. They later read Öcalan’s statement live on TV.

100

4️⃣ How did the process restart? In late 2024, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli unexpectedly suggested Öcalan be allowed to speak in Parliament to "end terrorism." This led to renewed talks and, eventually, today’s announcement.

100

3️⃣ Why is this significant? Öcalan’s call is unprecedented—unlike previous peace attempts, this time he sets no conditions. He openly says: 🗣️ "PKK has completed its mission and must dissolve."

100

2️⃣ What happened today? For the first time since 2015, Abdullah Öcalan was allowed to meet a political delegation. After the meeting, a statement was read, where Öcalan called for PKK to disband and lay down arms. Photo credit: Mesopotamia Agency (MA)

📌 A Historic Day for Türkiye: Öcalan Calls for PKK’s Dissolution 1️⃣ How did we get here? Türkiye has been in conflict with the PKK for nearly 40 years. In 2013, peace talks with Öcalan began, but the process collapsed in 2015. Now, for the first time in a decade, there’s a major shift.

🚨 Historic Shift in Türkiye: Jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan urges all armed groups to disarm. The PKK, listed as a terrorist group by Türkiye, the US & EU, has led a decades-long insurgency. Öcalan says he takes “historic responsibility” for this call. #BreakingNews #Turkey

Three people were detained for defying the barricades. One resident protested, "We live in dust and mud every day. I have paid my taxes to this country. They have to think about my health. My future too," she said.

📍 Antakya, Türkiye – On the second anniversary of the deadly earthquakes, mourners in one of the hardest-hit cities are trying to march to honor their lost loved ones. Security forces have set up barricades, blocking the route—tensions are rising. #Feb62ndyear

What needs to change? Women’s rights organizations call for stronger legal protections, an end to sentence reductions, and more accountability for perpetrators of violence against women. (7/7)

Legal experts warn that rulings like this send the wrong message: 🔴 Burning a woman alive does not qualify as “murder with monstrous intent”? 🔴 Should provocation be a valid defense for femicide? (6/7)

Meanwhile, femicide remains a crisis in Türkiye: 📊 394 women murdered in 2024 🏠 Most killed at home 🔫 222 shot 🔪 113 stabbed ⚠️ 111 murdered for personal choices (divorce, rejecting a relationship, etc.) (5/7) Source: 🔗 kadincinayetlerinidurduracagiz.net/veriler/3130...

Why is this significant? The use of "provocation" to reduce sentences for femicide is a recurring issue in Türkiye. Women's rights activists warn that this ruling sets a precedent for judicial leniency in gender-based violence cases. (4/7)

What does this ruling mean? The Supreme Court now says Avcı acted under "provocation" and should receive a lighter sentence. If applied, this ruling could mean he walks free in as little as 7 years—despite the brutal nature of the crime. (3/7)

100

What happened? Pınar Gültekin was strangled, burned alive, and her body was cemented in a barrel by Avcı. In 2022, a regional court reduced his life sentence to 23 years. The appeals court later restored the aggravated life sentence. (2/7)

Türkiye’s Supreme Court has overturned the aggravated life sentence of Cemal Metin Avcı, who murdered 27-year-old university student #PınarGültekin in 2020. The court ruled that a "provocation" defense should apply, reducing his sentence. (1/7)

Barış Pehlivan’s and his colleagues' detention is a chilling reminder of the shrinking space for dissent in Türkiye. Journalism is not a crime—it’s a public right. #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime

These actions highlight a dangerous pattern of weaponizing the judiciary to suppress opposition and media. Without a free press, public accountability and democracy itself are at risk. #JournalismIsNotACrime

Today, another prominent journalist, Şirin Payzın was summoned for questioning on charges of "terror propaganda." The systematic targeting of critical voices raises alarm bells for press freedom. (8/10) #PressFreedom
