(February 7, 2021 / BESA Center) Turkey, with a population of 83 million and two Nobel Prizes won, ranks 62nd on the list of countries by Nobel laureates per capita. This score is worse than that of the Palestinian territories, Bulgaria, Guatemala, Azerbaijan, Algeria, Yemen, Ghana, Morocco and Iraq. Israel ranks 12th. Austria, the population of which is about one-tenth that of Turkey, ranks sixth. Turkey ranks 35th on Science Capitals of the World’s scientific progress list. Israel ranks second on that list, right after the United States.
The sidewalks of the street that leads to the Bosphorus University are fenced. The subway entrance, guarded. In each of the surrounding cafeterias, policemen in plain clothes or with the bib that identifies them sit. Sheltered in the crossbeams are several trucks with pressurized water cannons.
Pairs of officers patrol up and down, some with automatic weapons on their shoulders. The doors of the University are protected by an anti-riot line: entering is prohibited except for teachers and students with a center card. And that there have been no face-to-face classes for months.
Since January 4, successive demonstrations have been played every day: at noon, dozens of teachers, wearing their robes, stand in front of the rectory and turn their backs on it.
