Taitava kaveri!

Meidän "pikkuisella" oli tapana juosta pakoon ja namit oli enempi lepyttelyä kuin motivoiva palkinto. Onneksi aktiivinen ulkoilu kuluttaa kynsiä 😊

This raises so many questions.
1) Why does he insist on using a pseudonym?
2) Who funds his lavish lifestyle of Bentleys and days off in Spain?
3) How come he's so often in EU that he so despises?
4) Why did he refuse to cooperate with the police?
Law abiding Brits deserve to know

Trump said there's peace in the Middle East.

Middle East is so much more than just Israel-Palestine (and even there clashes will continue)

I think there were a few odd Isis cases ten years ago from Guria, which is a lot closer to Adjara than Pankisi.

But yes, I agree the proximity to Turkey and the border area is the most likely factor here...

Congrats Ankara!

It was designated as the capital of Turkey 102 years ago.

Ei Walta sentään kärkenä pelannut, mutta silti.. Poikkeuksellisen epäreilut jaot.

Jo Liettuaa vastaan ihmettelin Suomen tukkoista avauspeliä ja nyt se on vain korostunut. Hollanti onneks höllännyt kaasua

Pääsin vasta nyt seuraamaan matsia ja... Siis onko todella näin, että Suomi lähti peliin ilman hyökkääjää? Joo, Antman ja Keskinen "kiitävät" laidoilla, mutta Walta ei kyllä ole hyökkääjä, vaikka hyökkäävä onkin...

In addition to his activities in the Bar Association, Uçum was one of the "wise men" involved in the previous peace process that failed. He's also a member of TESEV.

Anyone know what happened to TESEV? They used to do loads of good reports...

Chief legal adviser Mehmet Uçum seems like a truly interesting person. While I feel his current positions are often close to those of former interior minister Soylu, Uçum is a former communist and active member of Istanbul bar association, who worked on the extrajudicial killings of 1990s.

Well, I was thinking more of the liberals within DEM and CHP, as part of the parliamentary committee, who likely aspire for democracy, which is quickly eroding away

Turkish president's chief legal adviser says the peace process ("terror-free Turkey") should not be mixed with demands for democracy as they are two separate issues.

I'm afraid there's some understanding between Erdoğan and Öcalan, and democracy or rule of law are not part of that

📍Mehmet Uçum: Demokratikleşme talepleri sürecin şartına dönüştürülemez

👉 Uçum “Bu iki ana aşama asla iç içe geçmemelidir. Diğer deyişle "Terörsüz Türkiye'ye Geçiş Süreci" ile "Demokrasiyi Geliştirme Süreci" ayrı ayrı ele alınmak zorundadır” dedi.

Erdoğan and AKP will likely try to ridicule CHP and Özel for seeking support from abroad. However, the president himself is known for his rallies in Europe and seeking legitimacy from the White House...

CHP's rally in Brussels is ongoing. A number of mayors of major European cities, like Rome, Budapest, Amsterdam, Thessaloniki, Frankfurt et., are present.

Ja surkeinta tietty, että vpn ja tor (tai suojatut pikaviestimet) oikeasti ihan hyviä ja tarpeellisia työkaluja ihmisille, jotka elävät tai toimivat esim laajamittaisen valvonnan ja sensuurin keskellä. Itsellänikin koko paketti käytössä - paitsi tor vaikka ladattuna onkin

Itse koen, että yleensäkin tuo uhkailun ja häirinnän lisääntyminen on se varsinainen ongelma. Mutta tuo sinuun kohdistuneen hyökkäyksen tapa sitten on selvästi aiheuttanut poliisissa reaktion, ettei viitsi tutkia, kun niin hankalaa, mikä johtaa siihen, ettei ketään saada vastuuseen...

I suppose this has been coming. İYİ has been disintegrating and Zafer has lost some of its momentum.

But can a coalition or merger bring in new energy and votes, while MHP has all the resources? I certainly can't say where Turkish ülkücü nationalism is heading

Tsemppiä! Toivon vain, että toimittajat ja julkisuudessa esiintyvät tutkijat jaksavat tätä.

I believe when I see concrete progress on this. But dialogue is good, and perhaps this takes off some pressure regarding the approaching deadline of the March agreement.

Btw, kinda ironic that France is mediating knowing its own approach to national minorities and decentralisation

Too bad Ankara, despite being a major city with great universities, still lacks bookshops with decent English language selection
