Bekir Coşkun

Bekir Coşkun was a Turkish journalist, writer and columnist for leading Turkish daily, Cumhuriyet. He was a good friend of Emin Çölaşan, with whom he had worked in the newspaper Hürriyet before they were controversially sacked by the paper's editor-in-chief, Ertuğrul Özkök. As staunch secularists, both were critical of the Justice and Development Party.
