31.01.2025 ⇢ Day Lieutenants Left Army Through Court Door
⌨
The morning began with Istanbul Mayor İmamoğlu appearing at Çağlayan courthouse, drawing crowds that faced police intervention with tear gas. His testimony coincided with the Defense Ministry's announcement expelling five lieutenants and three commanding officers over an unauthorized ceremonial oath involving swords.
Media coverage split between these two parallel institutional confrontations, with opposition figures linking both cases to broader challenges to state authority. Pro-government outlets emphasized "provocations" at the courthouse while celebrating the military's disciplinary action.
By evening, attention shifted to the environmental toll of recent development policies, as Prof. Görür compared February 2024's earthquake energy to "five million tons of TNT," while historian Çiğdem Bayraktar Ör's detention continued the week's pattern of academic arrests. The White House's statement about Syrian troop withdrawal authority remaining with Trump received minimal coverage despite regional implications.
