Murat Akad, a representative of the Communist Party of Turkey, joins the show to discuss the mass anti-Erdoğan protests erupting across Turkey (Türkiye) against the AKP’s crackdown on democratic freedoms.
The widespread protests were triggered by the arrest of Ekrem Imamoglu, a political rival of President Erdoğan’s, but Akad explains that “there are many underlying factors” fueling the mass unrest. “People are angry,” says Akad, “the AKP’s legitimacy is fading… the governing alliance is falling apart.”
“The AKP’s legitimacy is fading… the governing alliance is falling apart,” explains Murat Akad w/ @tkpinter

Looks like another color revolution attempt.
The US, EU, NATO, as usual might be behind it. The US tried to murder Erdogan few years ago, they didn’t succeed but it doesn’t mean that they are not at him again.
To summarize, in the last few month, we have had a series of coup attempts, coups, rigged elections and color revolution attempts in the region, and mainly against countries who usually support Russia.
It started last November when Moldovan elections were rigged. To get re-elected the unpopular Maia Sandu and her EU handlers used foreign voting stations based in EU countries to rig the votes of Moldovar living abroad. She got more than 80% of the expatriate votes while her opponent got 51.5% of the votes from people living in the country.
The 2 million Moldovar living in Russia weren’t allowed to vote.
Then, a color revolution attempt was made in Georgia by the incumbent president who lost the elections (she’s a French citizen and a French puppet).
Next came Romania where the NATO sceptic Georgescu won the first round of the election, The party in power remote controlled from Brussels (and Washington) simply annulled the elections under a fallacious excuse. And as this year elections will take place in May he had Georgescu arrested and forbidden to run for the elections. Simple as that, like in good old USSR times!
Then, came Serbia, again, the US and EU are behind manufactured protests to try to remove the elected government from power because they do not hate Russians.
While in a normal world I would wish nothing more than seeing dictator Erdogan fell, in the evil world we live in, the sudden massive protests against him can only be seen as yet another attempt by the same criminals, the EU/US and most likely Israel (as Turkey disputes Syria with them) to oust an opponent. It might also be directed against Russia as Erodgan, despite the betrayal in Syria is still one of the main Russian allies.
All these countries are bordering Ukraine and Russia or are part of Russia historical zone of influence.
Trump’s hypocrisy equals only his utter insanity. He now menaces Russia as if he was dealing with some weak third world country, but the gaol remains the same encircle Russia with hostile puppet regimes and forces.
