Ankara University did not find the article, written by Asst. Prof. Kerem Altıparmak together with Prof. Dr. Yaman Akdeniz, “scientific” due to its critical content. Altıparmak had applied to the university in order to benefit from the encouragement offered by Ankara University, announced to be provided to international scientific publications. The university denied the application due to certain expressions in the article, such as, “The Silencing of Oppositional Thought in Turkey and Freedom of Expression” as well as “The Silencing of Oppositional Views with Media Blackouts” with the possibility that they may be interpreted against the Republic of Turkey.
