This is Emre.

In Türkiye this morning (10/14/2026), a government-appointed trustee was imposed on Halk TV, Türkiye's most-watched opposition television channel.

This step brought with it great distress. Because the current government is once again trying to shape politics by using the judiciary. In addition to the deep economic crisis existing in the country, political crises are also being added. The current government, which is shaken by a new scandal every day, is making every effort to avoid leaving its seat and is using the judiciary like its own puppet. In a place where the judiciary should be independent, judicial officials who act according to the government's rhetoric are openly committing crimes.

There has never been a period in which justice and politics have been eroded this much. The filth of the current government, which is engaged in deep corruption, is being exposed to the public every day, and yet they do not resign because they have lost their sense of shame.

The Republic of Türkiye faces a major crossroads. Society will either say stop to the current government or continue in the same way and be dragged further into the swamp.

There is a great silent anger in society. Society avoids making statements, but it will make the current government pay the price at the ballot box on election day. Another government so stained by filth has not been seen or heard of in the history of the Republic of Türkiye. Since the government, whose actions have now been reflected to the public, has also lost its sense of shame, it carries out every theft openly.

I think these people should be tried as a warning, and no politician should ever again become involved in such corruption. If you do not try these people as a warning, you will have betrayed the state. The areas in which the taxes taken from this state's millions of citizens are used are not transparently shared with the public. In the past, this data used to be shared transparently with the public, but now it is not shared.

Since there are already astronomical taxes in every sector, the public has begun to raise the issue because of this situation.

With the general election expected to be held in 2028, the government will face a major test. Since society and the government are facing off against each other, I think it will be of great instructive value. 

I have been using a Samsung phone for years and I am truly satisfied. Since my transaction volume is very high, I prefer Samsung's Ultra model.

Through the partnership between Samsung and the United Nations, you can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. Through the Global Goals app that comes pre-installed on Samsung phones, you can set up regular donations to the goals you choose, and you can earn money by watching ads and send these funds as donations. Earnings per ad may vary from country to country, but in Turkey 1.15₺ is earned per ad. In other words, those who watch 100 ads a day earn 115₺, and it is transferred to their balance instantly.

You can donate this balance to any of the Sustainable Development Goals you want and ensure it is used in that area. I make donations to "No Poverty", "Zero Hunger" and "Quality Education".

For poor countries, for countries experiencing hunger, and for countries with low education quality, I hope these donations are used in the right places, and I make these donations. You too can earn money by watching ads through this app and use these funds by donating them.

I recommend the Samsung Global Goals app to all Samsung users and also to all Android users.

Every corner of Türkiye stands out with its natural beauties and unique geographical features.

Recently in Türkiye, a large part of society has to follow politics because they do not trust the government.

A society that has lost its trust in the government begins to closely follow politics because it does not find the government's steps right and thinks it will make new mistakes. This is a completely human behavior. You closely follow even a person you do not trust because you think they will do something wrong against you.

Society is experiencing a major loss of trust in the government. The government's corruption, injustice, and attempts to eliminate politicians through the judiciary. All of these are lowering the government's value in the eyes of society a little more each day, and this distrust will cause the government to lose the next election.

The detention and subsequent arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu created great anger among society against the government, and society had difficulty controlling this anger. After this, the government carried out operations against municipalities won by the main opposition party and unlawfully imprisoned a large portion of the mayors. These actions caused the public anger against the current government to increase even further.

We saw the result of this in the local elections. Because society harbored anger against the current government, it gave the administration of the vast majority of cities to the main opposition party, but the current government did not learn a lesson from this election.

Türkiye is rapidly heading toward a general election, and this election will be quite challenging for the current government.

It is worth reminding once again; everyone pays the price for what they have done one day.

Starting from July 15, 2016, a great period of purge took place in the Turkish Armed Forces in Türkiye.

This purge generally targeted Turkish officers, and these people were openly expelled from the army. They were not only expelled but also branded as members of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) and thrown into prisons. Since that date, thousands of honorable Turkish officers lying in prison are waiting for the day they will regain their freedom. Not only soldiers, but also police officers, prosecutors, judges, teachers, and people from many other professions we do not even know of...

The AKP government removed Türkiye's honorable officers from the army one by one and restricted their freedoms in prison. Who is to say that these people, who have been imprisoned for years through injustices, will not hold the current government accountable once they regain their freedom one day. Since the government already knows that it would experience disaster in such a scenario, it is doing every dirty deed it can today in order not to lose power and continues to increase them with each passing day.

Those who paraded almost all officers before the eyes of the media and presented them to society as traitors on July 15, 2016, will one day face this reality. Because there is no fair trial, both the guilty and the innocent are being held together in prison. Whereas, if there were a fair trial, I believe that almost all of these officers would leave prison and regain their freedom. If there are those who committed crimes, let them be tried fairly and receive punishment, but those who are innocent will surely one day regain their freedom. The founding values of the Republic of Türkiye have always taught us to be just and transparent, and we grew up with this culture. At the point we have reached today, we are witnessing that the government disregards the founding values of the Republic and even tries to destroy these values.

US Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack, in a speech, referred to Türkiye being governed by a monarchy like Middle Eastern countries. Because the Republic has always posed a threat to them. After this unfortunate statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye made no condemnation on this matter and did not warn Barrack. This unfortunate speech shows that the government is doing its part as part of an existing plan.

However, one day when justice is reestablished in Türkiye and order is restored, these people will certainly be prosecuted. Everyone, from the very top of the hill to the very bottom, will certainly pay this penalty. No matter which country in the world they flee to, this responsibility will never leave them alone.

One day, everyone pays the price for what they have done.
