Transparency
International’s recent study1 puts
#Turkey to the right in the middle of the scale with 50 points in 2013 where scores
less than 50 points indicate serious corruption problems. The study also states
that 69% of the world faces serious corruption problems (Turkey’s 2012 score
was 49).
The study divides
ten score families in the world where Turkey ranks in the 5th family
with an overall average rank 53rd
place among 177 counties. The 5th ranking, 50/59-points-range
family’s members from bottom to top are; Turkey, Malaysia, Mauritius, Rwanda, Latvia,
Costa Rica, Seychelles, Hungary, South Korea, Malta, Slovenia, Lithuania, Dominica,
Cape Verde, and Spain.
Even though the
score is highly ambiguous in order to make any solid comment, the stability
gained by a single party administration has helped Turkey against the war on
petty corruption at least. Currently, Turkey’s
problem is larger scale corruptions those even public prosecutors cannot
dare to pursue.
PM Erdogan’s relatives including his son, his daughter, the brother of his son-in-law, his son’s mother-in-law, etc. are founding a private university2. Tis son Bilal Erdogan, who needed (?) a scholarship throughout his university education, has just purchased the 6th ship to his fleet3. It is highly questionable to many how this wealth can be accumulated in a relatively short period of time. There is another story of this family; PM Erdogan’s niece was caught with 50 kilograms of weed, charged with domestic drug smuggling and released after the not-guilty plea saying “I’m a smoker” after the first hearing4.
