Ankara-Sana
The suicide of the bodyguard of the President of the Turkish regime, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after leaving a message indicating that he was subjected to repeated pressures, threats and insults during his work, raised questions about the extent of pressures against those closest to this regime, which not only punished opponents of its policies, but went beyond them to the surrounding circle, as well as the spread of societal phenomena. Dangerous in Turkey in light of its political and economic crises caused by Erdogan's policies.

The bodyguard says in his suicide note, "You should deal with your employees in a better way instead of insulting and demeaning them and threatening them with unfair dismissal and humiliating them ... Every person has his pride and dignity, and I could not bear this many insults."
He concluded his letter, which he wrote before his suicide, by saying, "If only you tried to treat us kindly and understand us ... I do not want any of the leaders to attend my funeral."
According to observers, this incident was renewed discussion about the spread of abnormal and dangerous societal phenomena, such as suicide, whose cases are increasing in Turkey and are in the hundreds annually, and the record of the applicants shows that they come from different social and class backgrounds and from different professions, including officers, security men, doctors, engineers and workers, which means that the phenomenon has become general and includes different Segments and sectors of society in Turkey.
Observers pointed out that this also means that the accumulated political, economic and social crises caused by Erdogan's regime have become so aggravating that many Turkish citizens commit suicide.
Many political, parliamentary and civil forces in Turkey demanded the opening of a transparent and impartial investigation into this suspicious incident and the disclosure of its circumstances and motives, as it may contain facts and hidden dimensions.
A Turkish source, who asked not to be named, says that “the suicide of an officer in the presidential security is not like any other suicide incident .. Perhaps behind the hill behind it, as the officer may not have committed suicide, but was subjected to physical liquidation for reasons that we do not know of course, but it may be related to conflicts and settling accounts, so this is a hypothesis. It should not be neglected and excluded, ”adding ..“ The man may have known about certain things by virtue of his work related to scandals or sensitive information. ”
And he continues, “Even if the event was indeed a suicide, the calamity here is greater .. For a person to reach a state of despair, collapse, feeling insulted and marginal to the point where he would end his life, this is an indication of the extent of what he was subjected to and his cruelty, and if this is the case of dealing with officers of the Presidential Guard, you can imagine a way Erdogan's regime's contempt and superiority towards the rest of the people.
The officer's suicide remains an indication of the state of despair that sectors of the Turkish people have reached, even the circles close to Erdogan, as a result of the policies of oppression, tyranny and confiscation of opinion, including the launch of his regime's campaign of arrests and expulsion from work that included all public sectors and led to the arrest of tens of thousands of opponents and the expulsion or suspension of about 150 thousand Of government employees, members of the army, police, judiciary, the media, and others, who are unemployed, in addition to the economic and social crisis that the country suffers as a result of these arbitrary policies.
