Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan walks on the tarmac to his plane before departing for Brussels at Esenboga Airport in Ankara January 20, 2014. Rocked by a corruption scandal, Turkey looks further than ever from its goal of European Union membership as Erdogan visits Brussels this week in the midst of a crackdown on the judiciary and police. Erdogan has purged hundreds of police and sought tighter control of the courts since a corruption inquiry burst into the open last month, a scandal he has cast as an attempted "judicial coup" meant to undermine him ahead of elections.

“Στις δημοκρατίες δεν μπορούν να παραβλέπονται τα αιτήματα του λαού” δήλωσε ο Ερντογάν ενώπιον των οπαδών του, υποσχόμενος επαναφορά της θανατικής ποινής για τους πραξικοπηματίες.
Εμείς, πάλι, ξέρουμε ότι στις δημοκρατίες είναι θεμελιώδες να μην επαναφέρεις νόμους κατά το πως σε συμφέρει και να εφαρμόζεται ο νόμος που ισχύει τη στιγμή τέλεσης του αδικήματος. Τα υπόλοιπα είναι μη δημοκρατικά.
