Tag turkeys largest mass trial

I think you meant to ask "What was the largest mass trial in Turkey?"

The largest mass trial in Turkey was the Ergenekon trial, which took place from 2008 to 2013. It was a massive trial that involved over 2,000 defendants, including high-ranking military officers, politicians, journalists, and businesspeople.

The trial was centered around allegations of a conspiracy to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was then the leader of the Justice and Development Party (AKP). The conspiracy was allegedly led by a group called Ergenekon, which was named after a mythical valley in central Turkey.

The trial was marked by controversy and criticism from many quarters, including human rights groups and opposition parties. Many of the defendants were accused of being involved in a plot to commit acts of terrorism, murder, and other crimes, but critics argued that the trial was politically motivated and that many of the defendants were being targeted for their political beliefs or affiliations.

In the end, the trial resulted in the conviction of many of the defendants, including several high-ranking military officers and politicians. However, many of the convictions were later overturned on appeal, and the trial was widely criticized for its lack of transparency and due process.
