Article Citation Count: 5'Modelling' for Democracy? Turkey's Historical Issues with Freedom of Speech(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Alemdar, Zeynep; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsAlthough Turkey has come a long way in terms of human rights since the 1980 military coup, a closer historical look inside the Turkish political scene shows us how freedom of speech was always to be sacrificed if its exercise threatened the perceived unity of the country.
