Osman Kavala, Turkey's judiciary, and the militarization of Turkish foreign policy
Ayla Jean Yackley, an Istanbul based journalist covering Turkey, joins The Greek Current to discuss two important stories.

Ayla Jean Yackley’s work has featured in Al-Monitor, The Financial Times, The Economist, the New Yorker, and Politico.
