10 years after the killing of Tahir Elci, lawyers in #Türkiye are still being targeted. “ #TahirElci, a prominent #Kurdish #humanrights #lawyer…in south-east Türkiye, was killed at a press conference on 28 November 2015. His death could –& should– have been a turning point in securing respect for the rule of law & access to justice. Instead, we have seen even more lawyers… persecuted in Türkiye & on a worldwide basis for defending human rights.” | Tony Fisher, Law Gazette https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-and-opinion/10-years-on-lawyers-in-turkiye-still-targeted/5125234.article

While doing a bibliometric analysis, I noticed something strange – recent papers from 🇹🇷 scholars seemed to disappear from my dataset. The reason? The country officially changed its name to #Türkiye, no longer wishing to be associated with turkey (the bird).

Names and identities matter. Respecting them is essential, and so is being careful with citation databases whose metadata is not always reliable.

RE
murdered journalist #JamalKhashoggi must be turning in his grave
#F35 many major parts are made outside the US. The front undercarriage (major part) used to be made in #turkiye but they lost the contract
Speaking of #Khashoggi, his GF (or wife?)
#EdwardSnowden said that the software, created by #NSOGroup Technologies, was used to help track Khashoggi, gain information from his and her phones
