LINK Turkish police prevent Istanbul Pride from going ahead | Reuters

ISTANBUL, June 26 (Reuters) - Turkish police blocked hundreds of people from gathering for Istanbul's annual Pride parade on Sunday and detained dozens after local authorities banned the march from going ahead again this year.

Thousands of people used to attend Pride marches on Istanbul's main Istiklal Avenue but in recent years the government led by President Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted AK Party has toughened its stance on LGBTQ+ freedom.

Level 8

Maybe Turkay, or whatever their name is, is signaling an end to NATO membership? It's pretty clear that Tayyip wants an Islamic nation. Russia and Iran get along fine so Tayyip is leaning that direction. This would be a big event because it insures Putin has free access to Europe. We would also have to get our military arrays out of there.

You would have to be very brave to participate in a Pride parade in many Middle Eastern countries.

And people scoffed when I said Turkey was a dictatorship.
