You won’t see this news in English-language all State-Controlled #Turkey media outlets!! Several other political parties are willing to remove their candidacy for the new elections in favor of #İmamoğlu!! cumhuriyet.com.tr/haber/turkiye/… #Cumhuriyet #cumhuriyetgzt via @cumhuriyetgzt

Just like #Gulen media #Zaman the majority of English-language medya outlets in #Turkey (#TRTWorld; #Yenisafak; etc) are currently under the Gov directive & control issuing one-sided pamphlets. Ignore them, and don’t pay attention when they are quoted by the Western media either

Btw: the Gov here recently sent several journalists from this paper to jail for exercising their right to free speech and engaging in journalism.

Here’s an example from the biggest propaganda outlet in the history of this country: Erdoğan says Istanbul election rerun to strengthen Turkey’s democracy yenisafak.com/en/news/erdoga…
