The main opposition newspaper "Zaman" in Turkey that has been raided on Saturday 5 March has started to print pro-government content the day after. During the earlier raid water cannons and tear gas were used to enter the building, based on a court ruling that stated the newspaper should be put under administration, as protestors tried to prevent the takeover. The newspaper has a circulation of about 650.000 and has links to the Gülen Movement, a former ally of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) of current President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The big move comes after earlier actions by the AKP government to crackdown on media that is not favourable to them as the regime in Turkey becomes more and more authoritarian. Meanwhile, EU national leaders have kept relatively silent, supposedly as they need the cooperation of Turkey in the refugee crisis.
