Webcast: Sizing up CHP protests with James in Turkey - aka Michael Sercan Daventry
With long tractor convoys and high attendance, the CHP’s mass rally in the conservative Yozgat province looked like a potential turning point for the opposition movement in Turkey. But is it?
To gauge where the CHP stands one month after the arrest of İstanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu (and more), we’re hosting a live video chat today with Michael Sercan Daventry, a journalist and creator of JamesinTurkey.com, a website on Turkish politics.
Diego Cupolo, editor-in-chief at Turkey recap, will host the webcast at 1600 TRT / 1300 UTC / 0900 EST on Tuesday, April 22. Participation is open to all. Audience questions are welcome. Join with the links below.
