“…Dismissals, judicial proceedings, and imprisonment became commonplace, fostering a climate of fear. Additionally, seemingly innocuous activities such as subscribing to certain magazines or newspapers, holding accounts in specific banks, or having associations with particular institutions were deemed criminal offenses, resulting in dismissals and legal consequences (Aydin & Langley, 2021).…”

Objectives: We aimed to determine the reasons for the emigration of health workers who left Turkey and the difficulties experienced before and after the migration.Methods: This is an exploratory qualitative study of open-text fields focusing on migrant health workers from Turkey. Answers given to five open-ended questions directed to the participants in our survey, with 513 participants between April and June 2022, were used. Data were analyzed following content analysis.Results: A total of 506 responses were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 39.9 ± 8.8 years (54.2% men, 77.5% medical doctors). Almost all participants reported that the political atmosphere in Turkey forced them to migrate. Some participants were unable to do their jobs due to the increasing violence in the health system in recent years. Most participants saw migration as the only way out, as they did not feel free and safe. Comparatively, they were in a better economic situation in Turkey and had a higher standard of living.Conclusion: Migration creates a sense of security while at the same time accepting a lower standard of living. To organize the sustainable migration of professionals, it is beneficial to ask what framework conditions need to be created and to access the labor market in particular.

“…For its alleged involvement, Erdogan purged the ranks of the military. Proof that the military and the Hizmet movement were directly involved in the coup has not been found, leading to speculation that the coup was staged by the Erdogan government (Aydin & Langley, 2021).…”

The Turkish government implemented antidemocratic policies and practices after the attempted coup in 2016, leading to the victimization of its own citizens. This qualitative study examined alleged constitutional and human rights violations in Türkiye using a phenomenological research design and semi-structured, in-depth interviews to document the lived experiences of 25 participants who were selected through snowball sampling. The main themes found in the study were loss of jobs, mobbing, loss of freedom of travel and movement, denial of health services (within and outside the criminal justice system), and physical and psychological persecution. The results of the study support previous research, contribute to the literature by revealing additional types of victimization, and, through first-person accounts, shed light on the serious harm that Turkish citizens suffered at the hands of the Erdogan government. Policy implications and limitations of the study are included.
