exploiting the glory of the ottoman passed to galvanize the national sentiment. in cassim, russia, the working class neighborhood of eastern where air to one grew up. these turned his childhood soccer field into an archery club. and the ottoman empire, the bow was the horse man's weapon. and the one was our neighbor. if we met today, he would bank and that's all i got to do is a childhood friend of airlines and one of his loyal followers. he's a member of the a k party. the justice and development party founded by the president showing well here it says, if you don't know your past, you can never have a futures for sure. figured is very so much as he focuses on archery today. young are the ones true passion was soccer laughter. game had come through here. it

was supposed to play for, for that, but you who is a good center forward to take the sounds of legend has it that the president had a good chance of becoming a professional soccer player. but his conservative and religious father was against it because the look is behind the car. and to to bumps into fil a teen, everyone's former soccer coach. this is their to one. and this is add to ruin. this photo was taken 50 years ago on the motor truck. he was a very good center forward in this. and later when he was older, he changed position and became a defender 0 in the law. i love them with all my heart and survey, even if it kills me, even if he loses all his supporters high was still vote for him. the 3rd one's family background is humble, just like this neighborhood. his father was

a ship master on the bus from us and his mother a housewife. they lived in a traditional wouldn't house like this. i out of the young, everyone attended a korean school. he even toyed with the idea of becoming any mom for a while. he diligently attended the mosque and the neighborhood was on one level. he was very religious, you performed all his daily prayers, and it is showing people to pray for, gave me his vices and he could talk to unveiled women and people drank alcohol. very convincing raises or say today on the air to one remains loyal to this neighborhood for a long time. he lived here until his election as the mayor of his temple in 1994 the. she says that our president is an international leader. semi hot poacher runs a grocery store where the air to one family also came shopping sunset. he grew up

in their neighborhood, went to school here and look how far he's come. he's such an important man. we're very proud we know him and his children. well, his daughters grew up here, they're part of the families these talk see we love how you see that mom or dad. he's everything to us. you know, we're behind him. whatever he does, like the rest of the time, you are the ones humble childhood fueled dislike of the left is the leads who impose strict secularism on the entire country. the he decided to take his 1st steps into politics with the, as long as well as their party and was elected mayor of the stumble in 1994. the minarets will be up and it's the terms be our helmets. the most cool be all barracks and the believe is also just this fundamental list and nationalist

colon went down badly and secular turkey. he was sentenced to 10 months in prison, of which he served for 1st and foremost the most after his release, erewhon radically changed his strategy, you know, concealed his intentions and presented himself as a muslim democrats. from today onwards. nothing will be the same in turkey. in 2001 he found at the a k party, he achieved one electoral success after the other. the coming from minister in 2381. so it reforms and endeavored to lead the country into european union membership. but because she asians have stalls i'm definitely in favor of partnership with turkey, but not e u membership and i was since turkey's application was turned down,

everyone has maintained a conflicted relationship with europe. he regularly threatens to allow syrian refugees to travel onto europe. if the refugees cannot live honorably on their own soil in their own countries, we must o jointly bear the burden he has laid claim to part of the territory of neighboring greece and even threatened drawer. hey, grease, take a look at our history. if you keep provoking us, there will be severe consequences. since the war and you prayed, everyone has strategized and turkeys. nato met present and his clothes ties with boots to strengthen his position and play the peacemaker. but as an alleged peace maker, erewhon did not hesitate to bomb northern syria and take action against the kurds,

his arch enemies, to strengthen his voter base. the only national stage one has been returning to his original principles of his loan and nationalism for several years. now the boys want and conservative social plans that emerge during his rule continues to support him. during the a k parties, tenure, the number of construction companies has increased by 43 percent in 10 years. the turnover of the industry has exploded, picking at 126000000000 euros in 2017 but now the system is starting to crumble. it is precisely these construction companies and the authorities who are held responsible for the consequences of

a devastating earthquake that hits southern turkey. in february, new apartment blocks collapsed in the quick like a house of cards. these fragile new buildings did not always meet the standards for earthquake resistant construction. building permits were often obtained by bribery . a few developers were arrested to appease the population's anger. but on a political level, no one has suffered any consequences. the reporting on corruption in turkey is a risky business, according to reporters without borders. turkey is one of the most repressive countries in the world regarding the media. many journalists had been arrested. this virus to clue news, turkish prisons only too well. the investigative journalist spent 2 years of his life behind bars. this morning, he's preparing for his next trial and on the uh to me to let you, unless, like me,

writes about corruption in the states that there was a risk of being sued, interested like that. i've already been arrested twice. it's just took longer. it means that your reputation has damage to the east coast and you'll be targeted by the program. i'm impressed. you know, i just loved mich brotherhoods, or the criminal organizations supported by the president of the republic and jemma to take up life. so yes, being a journalist in turkey is dangerous. augusta don't like taking that tackle who is a best selling author. his books make the rulers very uncomfortable. subject to the book, this book is one of the best selling books into a coupon to supplement the 2nd volume of a series of books researching those in power, even in the 1st volume at the spaces. so sold about 400000 copies, but still 2nd volume were ordered over 200000 copies. that is currently one of the best selling books. and also the book that attracts the most complainant scale to go a step behind it, then it should have it on the in his books tackle lew denounces the infiltration of

the state. by as long as the sect he reports. however, one has enabled them to establish themselves at the heart of the system in strategic positions in the army and police. on the way to court, the journal is describes an extremely corrupt system to us. many skyscrapers have been built still here, the ones rain. most of them buy companies close to the government to this building bridges is another way for these companies to get rich to the companies that went a bit to build a bridge, often very close to the government. government also guarantees the minimum number of paid crossings. this means that the provided continues to make money from totals after completing the bridge, but it's not just driving to pay, it's also the state to size guarantee that the

$770000000.00 euros per year alone. the most recent needs of the bridge of assault pennsylvania, which took hulu and other boot. journalists want to know what the state is getting in return for the extortion. it's something they provide to the president's business friends in 2014, when some members of the government were under investigation for corruption. recordings of compromising phone conversations attributed to erewhon and his son belong surfaced on the internet to listen to entry corruption investigation, right? all right. she will be doing a health search and do you understand you? listen, what if you've got a new house, get rid of it's got his own. what do you mean? father? there is only cash in the safe home. that's what i mean. belong allegedly called

his father back a few hours later. so good evening teacher. did you get rid of everything? that's really not all of it. not yet father. let me explain. there are still 30000000 euros. we can't hide the error. one family later complained about the conspiracy, and the investigation was stopped. judges and police officers investigating the case were transferred or imprisoned. since then, journalists like circle lou, who research corruption, had been systematically prosecuted. the state is filed 33 lawsuits against his latest work and he faces up to 158 years in prison. how do i feel? i'm so used to it now. i didn't feel anything any more in front of the court. we are monitored by plain clothes, police officers who listened in on the entire interview. so to the, you know, there has never been justice in turkey. oil engineering today is not

a decisive hearing pathogen victory and took. he is so politicized that the outcome of such a trial which has bound to be biased to the yard. so could i see a selection student mixing the hearing yields nothing concrete, but check hulu, suspect that it will not be his last. the 3rd ones, other major project is to advance the islam ization of society. since taking office, he has been busy breaking down the secular character of attitudes but public. in 2013, he lifted the ban on head scarves in the civil service and in schools. in his 20 years of office, he's fortified to d. a. net. the powerful religious affairs authority increasing its budget 24 to 1000000000 euros in 2018. it's expected to rise to 1600000000 euros in 2023. the being but the one of the data one fulfilled one of his greatest

promises in july 2020. turning the i a sophia, which had been a museum since 1934 into a mosque. again, the byzantine, most 6 are now hidden behind a white cloth. se, when the supreme head of the be a net, a mom ali or bosh climbs the postage. he does so like an ottoman conquer with a cemetery in his hand. are the, my honorable muslim brothers and sisters a lot or the one is in the front row, listening attentively to his a moms politicized sermon to get out in the all over the world most of being attacked forcibly closed. you cannot even bone well destroyed. moslems, millions of muslims are oppressed, dependent on

the rest of the time, or the one has had more than 14000 new marks built since 2003. his flagship project, the mega most challenge job is built right on the boss for us. it costs 280000000 euros and it's a mom is very proud of this place of worship. the johnny good news, as you can see, it was built true to the ottoman style of architecture, measured by the height and the width of the dome. it's the largest, most kentucky, maybe even in the world. and as far as the architecture of religious buildings goes, it's the top of the league that that'd be telling us. we could say that thanks to the turks. his mom has found its true identity. the

for anyone who openly opposes air to one's religious project, the consequences can be severe. the ro, paula playing here with her son on a beach in the south of the country, has had a bitter experience. i like this country very much. it's natural beauty and climate. alma, the problem is some of the people who live around me. i don't have a problem with them, but they have one with me. paula is an active list in the association of atheism in turkey. she's been threatened by the clergy because of her public statements and lives in constant fear of attack. i'm afraid for my own safety and for my son, i always keep an eye on him. even if i'm just sitting here and he's playing

the game. paula was forced to leave the capital, but she still hasn't given up her activism tonight. she has an appointment in is near the 3rd largest city in the country. it's a late back coastal city on the gmc. it's also a strong hold of the come on list left in this suburbs, paula is looking for cash for a months cafe. he's a man who like her is being pressured by the clergy. while mister co home on welcome to use, we find him eventually. she lives on that we're meeting and person efficient. so yes, we've never met that. she's always, supposedly we've communicated a lot of the social media feel strange now. her mom is not just

a cafe owner. he's also a high school history teacher. he had the audacity to show his students, cosmos, a documentary about the origin of the universe, which the religious authorities did not like. some of that a sort of course of people can be very religious, but they should also be able to think and reflect for themselves, easily developed and enlightened at the same time. of course, but once you start asking questions, you quickly start doubting. sure. most yes, little by little you lose you over the just susan tease become this naive. secure that after showing the film to his students, half a month, got into trouble with the education authorities. they accuse me of showing a documentary about atheism in a country with 97 percent of the population is most of them. since i'm sure i'd be

fired. i have the cafe in called cosmos company. mean the sooner they pulled most cafe causes. the vast majority of cut women students support him and this documentary presents backs are supported by the international scientific literature. showing the film does not contradict religion. this is not propaganda for them because this we've owned a lot from him. recently, i think he's helped us to structure a thoughts better on the president era. one is pushing as long as ation harassing the press and putting political opponents under pressure. but he has less of a grip on the severe economic crisis affecting the country. he may have always had overwhelming majorities in rural areas, but now people can barely afford to eat and he's losing popularity there. despite winning the latest election day on the black sea is where the president's family comes from. their last come on,

girls use these and her family had been growing tea for generations harvesting the tea leaves with shares is exhausting work. according to official figures, installation is galloping at 64 percent. but independent economist say, it's closer to 140 percent. this is making it difficult for your lease and her family to get by yet to be here for some years. now we have been earning much less . we don't make enough money anymore. and living costs have gone up so much, you know, the to my husband is retired, but he still has to work out senior though if he didn't work, we wouldn't make it. we have only a small plantation going to chat. we harvest just to point 5 tons of tea per year lease, and then we have to pay for the fertilizer, the gasoline, bill, workers wages, india. and there is nothing left, not a center area. and the economic crisis is caused partly by everyone's

poor economic policy decisions. anger is growing among the farmers and the working class. did you expect any help from the state or you know what to the state? give us. we will keep working, keep growing our tea for visiting our crops and vegetables and such as they have, i just don't know. i still have hope. i almost really hope is a good thing. he's good for beauty. we're a strong country and a strong people here. if we manage to join forces and believe in ourselves together as a country, one to people, then we can move mountains. the
