About Me

I believe that the root cause of the fundamental structural political and governance problems and the existence of ‘Middle Democracy’ in Turkey can be found in the lack of the rule of law and accountability in public administration. As an Anatolian child who has grown up to become an international lawyer and politically neutral individual, I am endeavouring to produce proposals and ideas for reform to help resolve these problems.

 

I am sharing my thoughts and ideas about judicial reform, the accountability of public officials and civil servants, fair participation and representation in state governance, democracy, the assurance of fundamental human rights, and protection of the constitutional order. More »
