Lets be honest here, it wasn’t because of Alevi persecution that this rating was dropped. It was because the Hagia Sophia was turned from a museum into a mosque.
As much as I agree that Turkey is a regressive shithole socially, and getting worse, I do feel that this reaction today is a hatchet job by Europe because of Erdogan desecrating a European heritage site. Its not about “religious freedoms”, its about slapping back.
