    Mark Lowen Retweeted BBC News Türkçe

    #Turkey’s state news agency @anadoluajansi is put under control of the Presidency’s Communications Directorate. A reminder that it’s the only media outlet allowed to publish vote count in elections. So now presidential palace will in effect be in charge of giving election resultshttps://twitter.com/bbcturkce/status/1119138505584590848 …

        I mean, they all but did anyway, even 5 years ago when the counting suddenly stopped and they were declared winners the next day. AKP is a business, now their money source has been cut (İstanbul) we can hopefully expect them to struggle more, as this is a clear example.

        They were already getting the data from the AKP. Nothing will change.

        There haven’t been elections in Turkey for decades now.! The bad quality theatre is worse than the dictator deciding.! At least the people won’t have the tendency to fool themselves anymore.!

        Still YSK and his judges are the single authorized unit which gives the exact result of elections.

        Right way would be to assign its management with 2/3 majority of parliament. An independent board assigned similarly could also supervise activities. That system could help transparency ün government. Turkey still has that kind of journalists.
