Hakan Sukur

Recommended Posts

Hakan Sukur is very very famous in Turkey. He was encouraged by the (now) President to become one of his MPs.

Shortly after there was a corruption 'episode' connected to Erdogan and his family(Contracts,public funds etc)

This is when Erdogan and Gulen fell out and Gulen finished up leaving to go to Pennsylvania. Stick with it.

Sukur was one of the first people to come unstuck by a new rule that it is illegal to talk ill of the PM (now President) He was removed as an MP and charged. Think he left before a trial that was sure to be rigged.

The attempted coup on July 15th has been a great excuse for Erdogan to instigate a 'Stalin-like' purge of all people who oppose him or might oppose him. Every Public Body has lost at least 20% of all staff(guilty or not). Even the Turkish FA have lost 50 officials and referees(Erdogan is Fenerbahce supporter!!)

I am working in Eastern Turkey and the atmosphere is so surreal that I will be resigning soon....the only consolation is that I can become an angry Anti-Venkys season-ticket holder.

Hope the read was worth it! And Hakan is safe in USA.
