Erdogan forbids Turkey music at midnight: Rebellion Blows

We're sorry, but no one has the right to disturb others at night” With those words, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan motivated his government's decision to close concert halls and break music in clubs at midnight after announcing the nation's 1 July removal of key anti-Condavid restrictions.

An initiative that is causing a storm of controversy in social media, where thousands of users accuse the executive of using pandemic to punish lifestyles.

“We are offended” (#cusuurabakioruz), is the hashtag that has become viral at these hours, overturning the words of the head of state. Early protests also came from the music world.

If it bothers you, do not listen to”, commented singer Gaye Su Akyol in Titter, addressing President Erdogan directly.

Music does not bother, but heals troubled souls. Musicians don't bother, they produce art”, the singer at Titter Aylin Aslim wrote.

Strong reactions also come from the opposition, under which the executive “is not struggling with the Coronavirus, but with the life-style of people”.

And reactions came from the business world, which expresses concern over future restrictions on alcohol sales hours.
