What really happened on the night of July 15, 2016 in Turkey? Why thousands of judges and prosecutors were the next day? Why hundreds of journalists were arrested and media outlets shut down after the coup attempt by Erdogan? Was the failed coup attempt Erdogan’s Reichstag Fire?

Rethinking the state-people relationship [in Turkey]
We all know that Turkey has to solve a number of critical problems to become a democratic, pluralist and transparent state that is ruled by law.
