The blog linked below is organising an effort to prevent the planned closure of the Feza Gursey institute for fundamental sciences (the only research institute in Turkey devoted to mathematical physics) by TUBITAK (the scientific and research council of Turkey).
[More precisely, the institute is scheduled to be converted to a small subdivision of Turkey’s National Cryptography and Information Security Institute, effectively eliminating it as an independent entity.]
