Turkey's Color Coded Coup: What This Means for Democracy The eviction of ousted CHP leaders Ozgur Ozel and his executive board from their party headquarters by Turkish riot police on Sunday is a stark reminder that democracy can be fragile.
The Republican People's Party (CHP) has long been the thorn in President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's side, and the move to oust Ozel is an attempt to silence the party's growing voice.
A court ruling on Thursday nullified Ozel's 2023 election as chairperson of the CHP, citing irregularities that have yet to be made public.
