Editors Preface

T his book is about the eclipse of human rights and democracy in Turkey. As the Main Donau publishing house we thank in particular Ouzhan Albayrak, a human rights activist, who revised and edited the text for the benefit of the English-speaking reader and updated the statistical data based on the current political and economic situation. As a doctor of human rights law, this book is very much also my personal concern. Our special thanks go to Professor Christoph Bultmann for his judicious foreword.

We as Main Donau publishing house feel a responsibility to act for the sake of human rights and freedoms, which is why we exceptionally publish the book in English in order to reach a broader public.

About Ouzhan Albayrak

Having graduated from Public Administration, Ouzhan Albayrak started his career as a diplomatic agent in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey in 2009. As a Junior Diplomat he served in the General-Directorate of Bilateral Political Affairs Europe and General-Directorate for the European Union. He was assigned to posts in various embassies of Turkey in Kuwait, Malta, Jerusalem (Consulate General) and Azerbaijan, respectively. He was dismissed from his position in February 2017 as a result of the massive political purge by the Turkish government against dissidents. He is currently living in exile in Germany and is the Executive Director of the Human Rights Defenders e. V. (HRD) Association.

HRD is a non-profit and independent civil society organization campaigning to defend human rights and to help people facing persecution all around the world with a special focus on Turkey. HRD was established in 2018 in Cologne, Germany, by Turkish lawyers, former bureaucrats and entrepreneurs who are political asylum-seekers in Europe. HRD prepares reports concerning human rights violations, establishing contacts with other Human Rights NGOs and stakeholders, state officials and regional and international organizations. HRD also provides legal advice to victims, initiates legal procedures on behalf of the victims and prepares official petitions to the relevant UN Human Rights mechanisms.

Foreword

By Professor Christop h Bultmann

moral obtuseness is so much easier

(Martha Nussbaum, Not for profit , 2016)

T he present volume by hsan Gm, an author who, in a situation of persecution and oppression, writes under a pseudonym, is a collection of articles which were published on the website Platform for Peace and Justice in 2017 and 2018. They focus on the political development in Turkey following the military action, or attempted coup, on 15 July 2016 and the persecution of followers of Fethullah Glen, i.e., the so-called Glen movement. Glen himself has been living in the US since March 1999, and readers may want to watch an interview, conducted by Tim Franks for the BBC Newshour on 27 January 2014, or read an interview, conducted by Jamie Tarabay and published in The Atlantic on 14 August 2013, for a first impression of his teachings.

The articles by hsan Gm are study material for scholars in the field of political sciences rather than for a theologian with an interest in interreligious dialogue. However, I have accepted the invitation to contribute a foreword to the present volume because it addresses an issue which I have also noticed myself: The almost complete silence in the media about the persecution of followers of Fethullah Glen and the question of human rights in Turkey.

A few examples may illustrate this point, and since I cannot claim to have done a full survey of the debate in the media I prefer to put them as questions. In the German context: What can be read about the situation of followers of Glen and the question of human rights in the weekly column Meine Trkei (My Turkey) by Can Dndar in the newspaper Die Zeit? In the French context: What can be read about the situation of followers of Glen and the question of human rights in the occasional articles by Nedim Grsel which have been collected in his book Turquie libre, jcris ton nom (2018)? In the British context: What can be read about the situation of followers of Glen and the question of human rights in the book by Ece Temelkuran, How to lose a country. The 7 steps from democracy to dictatorship (2019)? With regard to publications like these, the collection of articles by hsan Gm is a timely publication since it makes informations available which other authors do not share with their public.
