Ankara Public Prosecution, having investigated a complaint that the chant “Everywhere bribery, everywhere corruption” now frequently heard at football matches breaches article 14 with the heading “Chanting involving defamation” of the Law for the Prevention of Violence and Disorder in Sport, has decided that there is no case to answer, as the slogan does not involve defamation but is political.

It is becoming clearer and clearer to me why the USA and other Western powers now want Erdoğan out of power, and fast:

Erdo's visiting the EU tomorrow, should be interesting!

The increasingly authoritarian Turkish PM, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will on Tuesday (21 January) visit the EU capital for the first time in three years.
His trip was meant to celebrate the recent restart of accession talks. But instead, EU chiefs are likely to criticise his purge on Turkish policemen who tried to investigate corruption in his inner circle.
EU officials expect a brief, but lively, press conference. “Erdogan will have prepared his rebuttals well in advance,” one contact said.http://euobserver.com/agenda/122767

That'll show them who's boss.

Perhaps they could also dig a little deeper and ask some more pertinent questions, such as how the conspiratorial Islamic sect that Erdoğan is suddenly so concerned about was in the first place permitted, partly on his watch, to infiltrate the police and judiciary to such an extent that they were able to wage a reign of terror against the secularist opposition, to the extent of imprisoning many hundreds of opponents of political Islam in Turkey based on fabricated evidence.

Yes, they could also ask him why he is illegally colonising a member State of the EU. They never have had the balls to in the past, it's time they were more direct and put him on the spot.

Fair point although it is not really connected with the present crisis.

Nothing has changed, it has only got worse.

Nothing will change, it will only get worse.

"We are ready to listen to any criticism or any view raised in the European Union as long as those criticisms and views are based upon EU standards and norms." He warned Brussels not to take a "discriminatory attitude" toward Turkey, suggesting the proposed changes to the HSYK were comparable to existing laws in various EU countries.

"If there is anything that is against the EU standards, we will listen to this, but we will ask one by one how the situation is in Europe, in Spain, in France," Davutoglu said.
