ISTANBUL -- Etyen Mahcupyan, renowned Turkish Armenian columnist
and writer who is known with his strong democratic stance against
developments in Turkey has decided to leave the controversial Gulen
movement affiliated Zaman newspaper on Monday, after the frequency
his columns were published was reduced from three times a week to
only once a week.
Mahcupyan wrote for Zaman on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. The
publication of his columns was ceased after Wednesday, May 22.
He explained that the publication of his column on one day of the week
was a problem. He stated that some media organizations started turning
into political parties and that he would write his final piece for the
newspaper on Wednesday and they would part their ways with the paper.
The question is whether Mahcupyan will continue writing for another
newspaper. In regards to that he said that for the time being he does
not know if he will continue but that he is currently in talks with
a couple of newspapers.
This move came after multiple people voluntarily left Zaman
newspaper after controversy erupted between the Gulen Movement and
the government.
