Some very important people, in an unaccustomed manner for those in the Justice and Development Party (AKP) flank, have started expressing their discomfort either by making statements, through electronic messages on social media or just by reappearing in public after months of seclusion.

When asked about the arrests of journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül, Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu replied, "In these kinds of situations, trial without arrest is the principal."  

I believe he is sincere. He is not the one orchestrating the arrests "in these kinds of situations" anyway.

The case into 28 people from Turkey's top science body and top telecommunications authority illegally wiretapping the encrypted phones of high-ranking state officials, including then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, will begin on July 13. 

A controversial new book by Ahmet Sever, who served as an advisor to President Abdullah Gül for 12 years, which revealed a number of splits of opinion between Gül and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), has triggered reactions from the AKP. 

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has confirmed the authenticity of a tapped phone conversation which allegedly proves his involvement in judiciary affairs.
