Özet

My talk will be focusing on Turkey scrutinizing the state’s responses to COVID19 from broader perspective. I will not be dealing with health policies, per se, but rather providing the broader context of the current crisis. Presently the daily number of COVID-19 cases rose to over 20.000 with number of daily fatalities exceeding 250. In the face of these numbers, I will try to identify the immunities of authoritarianism even when the worse has come to worst.
