Emin Çölaşan

So is this what we have to look forward to as Tayyip consolidates power? This is a disgrace...

(couldn't do the correct text in the title by the way, sorry)

He is one of Turkey's most popular journalists. He has written anti-tayyip articles in the past and recently wrote an article about tayyip's son avoiding military service. Tayyip pressured Hurriyet into firing him.

short blurb on it in english

So the new columnist is more moderate in his critic? Hmm, good opposition makes a country stronger I believe, they don't think that at hurriyet...

this story is new. much more will come out...

well i am very glad that he is fired.. keithl..dont talk as if he was just innocent columnist. i am not sure if you know him well..dont you find it democratic? did you know that he was one of the biggest supporter of coups in Turkey? he is one of those god damned men who hide behind ataturk and talk everything they want or they believe on behalf of Ataturk. Be sure Turkey didnt lose anything. he was not criticizing Tayyip Erdogan.. he was insulting him..he used to insult everybody is religious.. he used to insult girls who cant study at universities just becasue they wear headscarf..and he is not the only columnist who talks about his son. why others still are not fired then? i think you had better search about him before talking like an excited Russian revolutionary from 1910's .
