NEWS
★ According to BBC, Ekrem İmamoğlu, Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor, seen as the biggest rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, appeared in court for the first time since his arrest last month and jailing.
The prosecutors charged him with corruption and terrorism and threatening the chief prosecutor.
İmamoğlu told the court he was there because he won the Istanbul elections three times and rejected all the charges against him.
Hundreds of İmamoğlu's supporters gathered outside the court.
The Erdoğan administration also pressured Istanbul University to revoke İmamoğlu's degree. In Turkey, one cannot be a president without a college degree.
Analysts say Mr. Erdoğan uses everything to eliminate his rivals for the next presidential elections, although he cannot be a candidate due to term limits. To solve the issue, he has been pushing for a new constitution to eliminate the term limits.
Mass protests throughout Turkey followed İmamoğlu's arrests. Police arrested around 2000 demonstrators and scores of journalists. Since then, authorities have (AFP) released 185.
In related news, Deutsche Welle wrote why the European Union has not acted against Turkey's increasing repression.
The article said Turkey's growing strategic value to European security may be a factor. Read more >> here <<

★ According to the Times of Israel, Israeli officials confirmed talks with Turkey on Syria aimed at preserving security and stability. The official said that they rejected any change in the deployment of foreign forces in Syria and, in particular, the establishment of Turkish bases in Palmyra.

Analysts point out numerous issues between the two countries since President Trump's first term, and he forgot to mention them.
Here are some of the issues:
- Disagreements over Syria and Kurdish Forces, which Turkey claims to be an extension of the rebel Turkish Kurds, and it remains a significant source of friction.
- Turkey's purchase of an S-400 missile system from Russia triggered the removal of Turkey from the F-35 advanced jet program in 2019, and the U. S stopped purchasing parts for the plane from Turkish companies.
- In December 2020, the U. S imposed sanctions on Turkey's defense procurement agency under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act. These sanctions have also affected Turkey's ability to secure military parts from third parties.
- The detention of the U. S pastor Andrew Brunson in Turkey on espionage and terrorism charges led to significant diplomatic tension in 2018, and the Trump administration imposed tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum imports to pressure Turkey economically.
★ According to the British daily The Guardian, Özgür Özel, the leader of Turkey's largest opposition party, has hit out at Keir Starmer, accusing the British prime minister of ignoring the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul, and democratic backsliding in Turkey.
Özgür Özel told the Guardian that Keir Starmer is making a historic mistake by seeing İmamoğlu's arrest as a domestic Turkish issue.

★ According to the Turkish service of the BBC, Turkish lawyers said there was credible evidence that supported claims of unlawful strip-searching, abuse, and mistreatment by police during recent protests in Istanbul.
Sezgin Tanrıkulu, a parliamentarian from the opposition Republican People's Party, first raised the allegations. In a statement to the press, Tanrıkulu said officials subjected a woman to beating and sexual harassment.
Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç dismissed these allegations, stating that Turkish authorities remain committed to a "zero tolerance for mistreatment" policy.
According to the Stockholm Center for Freedom, unlawful strip-search and sexual harassment in police detention have been longstanding problems in Turkey.
