On Monday WikiLeaks announced it would release a tranche of “internal emails” from the Turkish government.
The following day the group published what it calls the Erdoğan Emails, a searchable database of 294,548 emails said to have been leaked from the AKP, Turkey’s ruling political party.
“The material was obtained a week before the attempted coup. However, WikiLeaks has moved forward its publication schedule in response to the government’s post-coup purges,” notes WikiLeaks. “We have verified the material and the source, who is not connected, in any way, to the elements behind the attempted coup, or to a rival political party or state.”
