We were delighted with the colorful presence of 700 Turkish-speaking kids from all around the world at a recent gathering in Turkey. They won both hearts and minds in a country full of people who would be thrilled if a tourist called at them "Merhaba!" The usual answer would be, "Ne kadar güzel Türkçe konuşuyorsunuz / Your Turkish is so very good." The children came from literally all corners of the world to compete in singing, poetry-reading and prose competition at the Turkish Language Olympics, an exciting event sadly not covered by Eurosport.

BRUSSELS - We, as 10 Turkish journalists, came to Brussels upon an invitation by the European Commission.

Baghdad- The visit of the president of the Republic of Turkey is being perceived by the Iraqis as very important. The plan for the withdrawal of the Americans has been put into effect, new elections have taken place and the new administration has begun its work.
DUBAI - The Iranian leader's swift and sweeping rebuff to Washington's offer for dialogue is more than just a reply to the latest outreach. It is a broad lesson in the mind-set of Iran's all-powerful theocracy and how it overshadows any possible next steps by President Barack Obama
JERUSALEM - A continued impasse over a prisoner swap between Israel and Hamas may have far-reaching consequences for the war-battered Gaza Strip and a possible deal could shore up efforts to clinch a sustained truce. Further developments may also give a boost to Palestinian reconciliation talks, which are vital to Gaza reconstruction
ISTANBUL - A think-tank releases a report that says minority foundations should be granted equal rights or Turkey will end up paying lots of compensation in regard to cases taken to the European Court of Human Rights. The report examined cases of property seizure by the state
ISTANBUL - By turns classical and popular-folk, harpist Şirin Pancaroğlu’s new album with Israeli percussionist Yinon Muallem feels like a tide rising and falling between continents and musical styles. On the Anatolian song "Kervan," her lyric harp rises like Sandro Botticelli’s "The Birth of Venus," accompanied by foreboding sea drums.
ISTANBUL - Masked celebrants snaked their way into Tarlabasõ, a suitable path to mark the essence of parades past.
