Abstract:
The measurement of democracy and its empiric work is at the beginning
of the issues discussed for many years. The democracy index created by the
Economist Intelligence Unit group of the Economist magazine, which has long
been recognized as a democracy index and a measure of democracy, is the only
index that measures the democracy levels of countries with many subcomponents
and is recognized by the United Nations. The main aim of this study is to compare
the current index with democracy, freedom of the press, and public opinion
collected primary data in order to measure whether corruption is consistent with the
index in question. At the same time press freedom and the democracy movement
in a country like Turkey have moved towards a single man leadership. Turkey
claims to be a member of the European Union but it reveals it has bigger problems.
Primary data obtained from the aspects of index variable indicates that a parallel
way of press freedom in Turkey and the country have moved towards a totalitarian
regime by ignoring democracy.
