In Turkey, attack on democracy continues with removal of Kurdish mayors
The mayors of Diyarbakir, Van and Mardin were elected with more than 50 per cent of the vote in local elections on 31 March 2019. Yet on 19 August, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) announced it had removed them from office and appointed local governors in their place. Several government officials, including Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, stated that the mayors needed to be replaced because they were misusing their positions to support terrorism, referring to the mayors’ alleged ties to the armed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
I very much like this format. A short teaser which is the kernel of the issue and then a link to more elaboration plus trustworthy sources and supporting material. This allows for better sharing in social media and people to people contacts.
