I felt like lying down too

Fatih Altaylı was also sent to Silivri.

During the Ergenekon era, literate, professional soldiers and bureaucrats were also sent to Silivri.

Supposedly, the counter-revolution was very close.

Turkey would breathe a sigh of relief once the enemies of democracy were handcuffed.

It didn't happen.

In fact, the exact opposite occurred.

Silivri emptied out in one night.

Now, it is overflowing once again.

Mayors, bureaucrats, and many others.

And most recently, Altaylı.

However, no one is afraid, crying, or whining.

Even their wives are setting the tone and expressing gratitude in front of the courthouse.

Everyone, like old-school revolutionaries, says they are ready to serve whatever time is given and heads off to Silivri.

They are sending a message to the youth.

Even if they are abroad, they hop on a plane and come back.

Afterward, they send letters to their friends and family.

Like a dervish, they try to reach piety in the 'Chillahane' (seclusion cell).

However, Altaylı went a bit too far.

He exaggerated a little.

He talks about Silivri so nicely that you would think he is vacationing in Marmaris.

It makes one feel like saying, 'I want to go and lie down for a bit too.'
