==Criticism== Critics have accused the AKP of having a 'hidden agenda' despite their public endorsement of secularism and the party maintains informal relations and support for the [[Muslim Brotherhood]]. Both the party's domestic and foreign policy has been perceived to be Pan-Islamist or Neo-Ottoman, advocating a revival of Ottoman culture often at the expense of secular republican principles, while increasing regional presence in former Ottoman territories. The AKP are staunchly "anti-academic" with many academics, researchers and teachers being sacked from their positions since the failed coup attempt in 2016. An alleged 13,000 tons of textbooks were scrapped and the rest expunged of ‘terrorist’ content. Primary, lower secondary and secondary school students spent most of the first day of school watching videos about the ‘triumph of democracy’ over the coup plotters, and listening to speeches equating the civilian counter-coup that aborted the takeover with historic Ottoman victories going back 1000 years. Campaigns are being organised to release higher education personnel and to drop charges against them for peaceful exercise of academic freedom. Imprisoning of political activists continue, the chair of Amnesty Turkey has been jailed for standing up to the AKP on trumped up "terrorist charges". These charges have drawn widespread international condemnation, including from the US State Department, the EU and many international and domestic human rights organisations. {{Important}} [[Category:List]] [[Category:Turkey]] [[Category:Evil vs. Evil]] [[Category:Lawful Evil]] [[Category:Organizations]] [[Category:Political]] [[Category:Power Hungry]] [[Category:Mastermind]] [[Category:Brainwasher]] [[Category:Anti - Villain]] [[Category:Modern Villains]] [[Category:Provoker]] [[Category:Terrorists]] [[Category:Xenophobes]] [[Category:Totalitarians]] [[Category:Islam]] [[Category:Corrupt Officials]] [[Category:Fallen Heroes]] [[Category:Traitor]] [[Category:Government support]] [[Category:Jingoists]] [[Category:Important]] [[Category:Barbarians]] [[Category:Successful]] [[Category:Oppressors]] [[Category:On & Off Villains]] [[Category:Liars]] [[Category:Propagandist]] [[Category:Mongers]] [[Category:Pawns]] [[Category:Political Parties]] [[Category:Anti-LGBT]] [[Category:Anti-Semitic]] [[Category:Anti-Christian]] [[Category:Anti-Catholic]] [[Category:Control Freaks]] [[Category:Torturer]] [[Category:Genocidal]] [[Category:Destroyer of Innocence]] [[Category:War Criminal]] [[Category:Mass Murderers]]
