Turkish Media Comments on Closure Case

The Turkish Constitutional Court's decision to accept the 'party closure case' has been drawing international criticism. Locally, the Turkish media has slammed the decision claiming the trial might plunge the country into chaos and break off Turkiye from the rest of the world by shelving democracy. //

Columnist Hasan Cemal from the Turkish daily newspaper Milliyet made an interesting observation noting that "unfortunately a judicial coup process has started..."

Subtitle:

`` This process would intoxicate Turkiye's EU bid for the full membership. It includes the seeds which will turn political stability upside-down leading to a period of unstable and weak coalitions dating back decades, separated by militant political scenes in the wasted years of Turkiye. It seems now to be happening all over again. Also this process includes the risks which may jeopardy the south of Turkiye amid the blaze of the Kurdish issue which broke out in the 1990s.

Editor-in-chief Ekrem Dumanli from Zaman emphasizes "a very hurtful situation... They want to shut down a party supported by almost half of the population". He continues:

Subtitle:

The CHP and its leader, Deniz Baykal, wants to defeat his opponent, who he could not overpower in the political arena, through institutions. Is this right, is it ethical? " But Baykal says a constitutional amendment while the case is continuing would not be ethical." So, is it ethical to attempt to defeat your rival whom you could not defeat in elections through court decisions?

Editor-in-chief of Sabah writes "Let's not euphemize the decision of the Supreme Court and call it another post modern coup process like February 28th". He also says:

Subtitle:

AK Party will be closed and all the deputies whose names have been mentioned in the indictment will be barred from politics. Those who can accept the inclusion of the President to be tried as ethical have the chutzpa announcing AK party's mulling the decision with amendments to be "unethical"

Study Islam before you talk crap, it is a political system, a complete political system and ideology. We are at war with you seculars, and in the end the party of Allah is successful, so do your best against us assholes.

be a little more open minded..IDIOT. Islam is not a political way of life, it should be within yourself. Bigun Ataturk'e laik bir ulke olmaya BASARACAZ sizin gibi ignorantlara ragmen.

There is a old saying..."You just cant keep Islam down" ;) Do your best - in the end Islam always comes out on top, History is our witness.
