Exiled novelist Aslı Erdoğan: Turkey has a fascist regime. It is not yet 1940s Germany, but 1930s

Turkish novelist Aslı Erdoğan, living in exile in Germany as she risks a life sentence on terror charges at home, thinks the writing is on the wall: Her country is sliding into fascism.

Speaking to AFP, the award-winning author, still traumatized by the four months she spent in an İstanbul prison, warns that Turkey’s institutions are “in a state of total collapse.”
