One hundred years after its founding, the Turkish Republic is at a crossroads. The country has made significant progress in many areas, but it is also facing a number of challenges, including a rise in authoritarianism, a decline in press freedom, and an economic downturn. As Turkey approaches its centennial, it is unclear whether democracy can be salvaged. Some believe that the country is on the verge of becoming a fully authoritarian state, while others believe that there is still hope for a democratic future. The outcome of this struggle will have a profound impact on Turkey and the region as a whole.
