Webcast: The road ahead for protests in Turkey
After Saturday’s mass rally in İstanbul, Turkey’s opposition looks to convert the momentum from recent street protests into sustained pressure on the government over the arrest of İstanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu.
To make sense of the latest developments, we’re hosting a live video chat tomorrow with Arife Köse, a PhD researcher at the University of East Anglia focusing on the political theory of authoritarianism and rhetoric.
Her new analysis, titled “Turkey on the edge”, concisely lays out the stakes of the current moment for Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP).
Diego Cupolo, editor-in-chief at Turkey recap, will host the webcast at 1500 TRT / 1200 UTC / 0800 EST on Wednesday, April 2. Participation is open to all. Audience questions are welcome. Join with the links below.
