#Bad HairPrime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was telling the truth when he bravely said that systematic efforts to force non-Muslim minorities (during and after WWII) out of Turkey constituted an act of fascism. Turkey would have been a better place if today its Greek, Armenian and Jewish populations amounted to hundreds - instead of tens - of thousands. Ironically, one could probably not find in these lands more than a few men who are pure Turks by DNA.
Professor Türkan Saylan was a special person; there is no doubt about that. Even if you didn’t know her personally or closely, this is obvious. Her short life story is enough to explain how special she was. Saylan was 74, and we knew that it was time for her to go after long years of battling cancer. So it was not surprising to see such a crowd attending her funeral ceremony.
ISTANBUL - Perhaps you wouldn’t have associated the woman talking with people below from her window of her wooden house in Arnavutköy with the Türkan Saylan known for her extensive work as a doctor and the leader of a number of philanthropic organizations such as the Leprosy Relief Association and Foundation, or CSDV, and the Association for Supporting Contemporary Life, or ÇYDD.
LONDON - Susan Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities virtually overnight after her rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream' on 'Britain's Got Talent' this month. But while most people see her story as a fairytale, some say it casts an unflattering light on the public and its preconceived notions about beauty and fame.
ISTANBUL -The Turkish intelligentsia erupted in commotion when he suggested Turkey needs a "Second Republic." Some celebrate him as an economic genius who supports unconditional democracy. Others, however, deride him for once abandoning his ideals to accommodate "political realities" at the time.
ISTANBUL - Once the Ottoman capital, today’s green city of textiles is the essence of a common Turkish paradox: Bursa has long been a conservative city but many women there are making their way in male-dominated businesses Ğ including the run for the city’s top job
ISTANBUL - An honorary consul general is someone who is appointed by the presidents of the countries who sends and accepts them and doesn’t receive a salary and there is no immunity but there is endless respect. And while using their material and immaterial possibilities, they try to carry out their duties in the best possible way. "There are honorable titles that a person in life can have whether politician or businessman," Boytüzün says.
ESKİŞEHİR - Most of the 3,500 attendees who participated in a survey in Eskişehir by Anatolian University, or AÜ, believe that the presence of university students provides the city a more tolerant and libertarian mood and contributes to the city being a more modern place.
LOS ANGELES - 'Bolt' is the first animated feature created and executed under longtime Pixar guru John Lasseter, but it lacks the complexity of story and depth of character you so often find in previous Pixar releases such as 'Toy Story,' 'Monsters Inc.,' 'The Incredibles' and this year's outstanding 'WALL-E'.
First off, we would like to extend our heartfelt wishes for a quick recovery to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan; the hypoglycemic episode he experienced two days ago scared everyone. We hope it never happens again, and hope-despite the fact that we do not necessarily agree with his politics-that Erdogan serves the public for many long years ahead. This column, however, is devoted not to Erdogan's policies per se, but to his health, or rather his attitude towards health.
