those 'innocent' journalists violated the law some praised terrorism, preached hatred, others demanded coup and even worse some did work as foreign spies
like every normal citizen also journalist have to obey the law

You might want to read Turkey's Constitution:

...no individual or body empowered to exercise this sovereignty in the name of the nation shall deviate from the liberal democracy indicated in the Constitution -

Sounds like a license to plot coups to me.

You will hardly find anyone in Turkey supporting a coup, we have a bad history with coups.

AKP might not be the best goverment but still better than another coup.

Deeming the AKP "not the best" indicate that Turkey have seen "better" governments. Can you kindly give examples of such governments?

Yes the first ofcourse is Atatürk that saved the nation from imperialists and found a modern republic, then in the first years of the republic where a rapid development and economic growth could be archieved even thought the country was licking its wounds from WWI even decades after and not to mention that WWII started in Europe not long after.
Third is Ecevit goverment that mastered the Cyprus crisis, he showed courage that not a single politician in Turkey today could show.
Fourth is Özal goverment that laid the tracks for the liberal economic reforms.

kelamist , liberals , pkk and other zionist paid terrorist have huge presence in turkey. AKP can't afford to grant "freedom of speech" to such shady magazines. Looking at posts like @Solomon2 , it seems such crackdown is having an effect.

Ataturk , that intellectually colonized anti-muslim crusader? What did he achieve exactly? persecute turkish muslims , attack the honor of muslim women and criminalize the practice of islam in turkey. He is a good poster boy of liberal imperialism in the muslim world. U know muslims around the world hates that anti-muslim crusader. For kelamist and liberals he is understandably a hero. Shows the pathetic nature of liberals , most of whose heroes r fascist bigots.

Look my islamist friend your opinion and what you stand for has no place in 21st century, Turks decide themselves what they want, its insignificant whether foreign islamist like Atatürk or not, Turks embraced the republic and secularism he founded, they are ready to give up their lives for this republic so what a Bangladeshi islamist on the other side of the planet thinks about our values has absolutely so significance, care about your own country or better not because people with your ideology are only good for destroying whole societies.

Do you even know the definition of "genocidal"? So either apologize, or everyone gets to think of you as the "shameless creature" here, yes?
