"According to the Turkish sources, the atmosphere in Turkey is
getting more tense, and various threats hang over the intellectuals
and journalists", French independent journalist Jean Eskiyan reports.

"Fascism, treachery and lynch-law words are pronounced again", the
journalist says adding that the radical nationalists are ready to
struggle against the democrats with the help of the army.

This transitional period is hard especially for the people appearing
between the two camps.

The situation became complicated because of on-line campaign "I
apologize" that has already collected 20.132 signatures.

It’s worth to mention that the initiative have found acceptance
especially among the youth.
