Summary
When Orhan first started fixing, he coached clients that Turkish opposition journalism was under siege, that Ergenekon and Sledgehammer coup plot trials were a sham, that Erdoğan was an authoritarian amassing power. They mostly dismissed Orhan as an embittered Kemalist. In their view, the big picture was that AK Party was democratizing Turkey, integrating the country into Europe, and performing an economic miracle.
