ITALIAN MATHEMATICAL UNION DECLARATION ON THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN TURKEY

The Italian Mathematical Union strongly supports the recent statement of the Italian National University Council about the dismissal of 330 Turkish academics, considered opponents of the present regime. We believe that the coexistence of different opinions is essential for the development of a country and in particular of its science. We express our solidarity with our Turkish Colleagues who have been exposed to repressive measures, and firmly demand to put an end to what we consider to be heavy attacks to culture, science and democracy.
