We’ve talked with economist Enes Özkan, one of the founders of Daktilo 1984, about the establishment story of daktilo1984.com as well as its publishing policies and about pluralism in the civil field. Özkan says: “As Daktilo1984, we turn academic knowledge into a more easily consumable version and present it that way. Besides, we produce content that is far above the average of a standard newspaper report.”

Journalist and author Gökçer Tahincioğlu emphasizes that the sanctification of the state and the culture of impunity are the real reasons why there is no real fight against the "deep state" and mafia networks, adding, "Unless we start upholding individuals as sacrosanct, the state will transform all governments into its own shadow. That is why we keep hearing the same words over and over again. Only the will to solve problems and the society's support can bring about true democracy.”
