EASAC member academies voice concern about recent developments in Turkey
EASAC's member academies are strongly concerned about the recent development in the Republic of Turkey. They condemn the forced resignation of all university deans, the cancellation of teachers' licences, the travel ban for all academics in Turkey and the call to Turkish academics abroad to return.
Member academies of EASAC especially support the statement of the All European Academies (ALLEA) that rejects the attempted coup d'état and calls for the Republic of Turkey to respect academic freedom and autonomy, to which is obliged to by international agreements.
Statement from our member academies:
The Council of Finnish Academies
The German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina
The Slovak Academy of Sciences
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
The Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences
