Turkey opposition worries that Europe is sacrificing democracy for security

Turkey's opposition is increasingly concerned that Western Europe is prioritizing security over democratic values, as President Erdogan's government intensifies its crackdown on opposition leaders and elected officials. This alarming trend highlights a troubling shift where European nations might overlook democratic erosion in Turkey for geopolitical and security reasons. The implications are significant, as it raises questions about the West's commitment to democratic principles and could embolden authoritarian regimes elsewhere. The opposition fears that such complacency could lead to further democratic backsliding in Turkey and beyond.
