I got my MS degree from Turkey. These days they decided to close my university because of some political conflict between Erdogan and a guy who got separated from his party (Ahmet Davutoglu), turns out this guy owned the university.

I’m not Turkish and at least not in Turkey right now, but I’m sure such a thing ruined lots of people’s lives and certainly will make my life harder in certain situations someone needs to validate my degree

I think the bigger result is a sort of brain drain.

Early on there were stories of folks purged or threatened and doctors and other professionals simply decided it was time to leave before things got ugly.... I don't know if they're coming back.
