« Femmes incomplètes », « sang impur », « complot mondial »… L’inquiétante dérive turque

Les femmes turques pensaient avoir tout entendu, depuis l’interdiction de rire en public « au nom de la décence », proférée en août 2014 par l’ancien vice-premier ministre turc, Bülent Arinc, jusqu’aux exhortations incessantes du président, Recep Tayyip #Erdogan, à ce que chacune d’elle, en âge de procréer, mette au monde « au moins trois enfants ».

A recent joint action consensus between Turkey and the United States, which includes the use of the İncirlik Airbase in southern Turkey in fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadists, also covers a partial no-fly zone over the Turkey-Syria border, according to Turkish sources.

The 90-kilometer line between Syria’s Mare and Cerablus will be 40 to 50 kilometers deep, sources told daily Hürriyet, while elaborating on the consensus outlined by Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç, following a cabinet meeting on July 22.

Kuwait News Agency - 28 December, 2014

Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc denied on Saturday that he demanded Kuwait to support his country in accommodating the large numbers of Syrian refugees during his recent visit to Kuwait.

During his meeting today with visiting Kuwaiti journalists, Arinc lauded the contributions of His Highness the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the Kuwaiti people and government to the humanitarian action.

Turkey, a rich and powerful country, has provided aid to many countries, reaching USD 3.5 billion annually, Anadolu Agency (AA) quoted him as saying.

“Turkey alone has spent more than USD 5 billion on more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees and aid actually received from the UN agencies and foreign doners represent only a tenth of the stated aid pledges,” the senior official added.

Regarding his country’s relations with Egypt, Arinc expressed desire to improve them, saying that Egypt must take measures in this direction.

He dismissed the calls by his country for Kuwait to intervene to settle the dispute with Egypt.

On another front, Arinc stressed the importance of joint efforts to combat the terrorist groups such as ISIL, noting that the Turkish security services arrested dozens of foreign fighters who tried to cross Turkey into neighboring countries to join ISIL ranks.

Islamo-paternalisme ou totalitarisme à la turque ?

Le 15 avril, le pianiste Fazil Say était condamné pour blasphème à dix mois de prison avec sursis. Aux yeux de la justice turque, il s’était rendu coupable d’« insulte aux valeurs religieuses d’une partie de la population » en publiant des tweets moquant l’islam. La sentence était approuvée par le vice-Premier ministre, Bülent Arinç, pour qui « si vous insultez les croyances des autres, cela requiert une sanction pénale ». Le 26 avril, le verdict était annulé pour « vices de procédure » par un tribunal d’Istanbul. Fazil Say sera donc rejugé.

Le même jour, le Premier ministre, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, fustigeait l’alcool, estimant que sa consommation engendre « violence, crimes, suicides, problèmes familiaux, problèmes sociaux, accidents de voiture ». La croisade hygiéniste de son gouvernement, menée à grands coups de prohibitions et d’augmentations des taxes, entrait dans une phase plus agressive. De la santé publique, M. Erdogan passa à la morale, déclarant que son devoir, en tant que père de famille, être humain et Premier ministre, était de « sauver les gens de l’addiction à l’alcool ». Sanction d’un délit d’opinion, confusion de la responsabilité politique et du magistère moral… Impensables dans un Etat de droit, de telles pratiques se multiplient en Turquie. De quoi, exactement, sont-elles le signe ?
