Last week we were in the Balkans, far from Turkey, where the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu encouraged the people to stage a bloody riot against the presidential system. We visited dervish lodges and friends and attended seminars organized by TİKA and the Yunus Emre Institute in Pristina, Prizren, Yakova, Ohri, Truga, Skopje, Kosovo and Macedonia. Two years ago, we hit the roads with the same intentions and visited a similar region.
