Bu dünya bizim, tüketmeyelim…
Bugün Dünya Çevre Günü... Lakin insanlık ‘çevre’sine dikkat etmiyor! Üzerinde yaşadığımız ve bizden öncekilerden devraldığımız gezegeni, ona ait güzellikleri tüketiyor. Doğanın kestiği faturalar, kimi acı dersler ve hatırlatmalar da çare olmuyor. Bu vesileyle kimi gerçek olaylara dayanan, kimi kurgusal ekolojik meselelerin altını çizen filmleri derledik...

Southeast frowns on gov’t stimulus
ANKARA - Industrialists in impoverished southeast Anatolia say the duration of government incentives should be extended to at least 10 or 15 years and that their scope should include existing investments. The government’s recent incentive and employment package falls short of expectations, they say.
Israel’s Levy pays critical visit
ANKARA - As the opposition steps up criticism of a government-sponsored draft bill on de-mining the Turkish-Syrian border on the argument that the land would be leased to an Israeli company for 44 years, Israeli Ambassador to Ankara Gaby Levy turns up in Parliament for a meeting with an opposition deputy.

No turbulence at Gazipaşa
ALANYA, Antalya - Gazipaşa Airport starts to stage test flights finally, showing some positive signs after years of debates and questions hanging in the air. The beginning marks the area’s transition from a turbulent past to a clear future and gives hope to everyone, not only the residents of Gazipaşa, but also to every local of the Mediterranean area
Landmines in fields, landmines in minds
With the start of debates over the landmines along the Syrian border, we have learned what a "minefield" Turkey is. They are not in the land but also in minds, too. Clearing landmines is a difficult task, but I am afraid eliminating mines in the mind will take time enough to bury us all.
Lifeline for Kars just across the border
KARS - If trade is life, one could easily say the province of Kars in the northeast of the country is slowly losing its will to survive. While Turkey shut its border with Armenia as reparations to that country, the declining living standards, bankrupt economy and migration has left the people of Kars thinking they are the ones being punished.

An election campaign as spicy as Adana food
ADANA-Adana is one of the most interesting cities as far as local elections are concerned because the outcome is open to surprises. It will also be a test case to see what comes first for voters: the candidate or the party. The city’s incumbent mayor is running for the fifth time at 71, this time on the MHP ticket
Make up your dam mind, say Hasankeyf locals
MARDİN -More than five decades have passed since the building of a dam at Hasankeyf was first proposed and local residents are growing tired of their unending dilemma. Even though the situation only compounds the ancient area’s poverty, the residents refuse to give in to the government’s offers, instead calling for more support to fight off the impending flood.
Welcome to Kurdistan (not north Iraq)
The Abant Platform, which holds frequent conferences at which Turkish intellectuals convene to discuss timely issues, was in northern Iraq last week. I was among the nearly one hundred names that were supposed to fly from Istanbul to Arbil for this significant meeting, but a last minute change of plans destined me rather to Washington. Yet I have been carefully reading what Abant participants have been writing about their experience in Iraqi Kurdistan Ñ a country whose very name is a big bone of contention in Turkey.
