Trabzonspor'un çiçeği burnunda teknik direktörü Abdullah Avcı sahaya indi. Tecrübeli teknik adam 'puan kayıplarını durdurmalıyız' diyerek dokunuşlarını yapmaya başlarken, bazı mevkiler için de transfer sinyali verdi.
#TrabzonsporISTANBUL - Aslı Erdoğan is an author in the field of contemporary literature and whose book 'Kırmızı Pelerinli Kent' was released in Europe as part of the prestigious 'Marg Series' by Norwegian Gylendal Publishing House. She was sexually harrased at 10 years old and this was a turning point in her life. Her tales are based on her painful experiences and collected in her new book.
PARIS - France is continuing with its preparations at full speed to host its Turkey Season as planned between July 1 and March 31, 2010, even though Erdoğan has signaled a possible cancellation. The nine-month-long event is set to introduce Turkey, in all facets, to the French people
ISTANBUL - Opposition leader Deniz Baykal says his visit to Baghdad should not be seen in relation to Turkey’s Kurdish problem and that Iraq is not an interlocutor in this issue. ’Turkey’s own problems will not be on the agenda. These are problems we should discuss internally.’
A visit to any top preparatory school in or around London is a good exercise in the sociology of elites. Inevitably, somewhere near the entrance, or adjacent to the headmaster’s office, there will be a signboard listing the names of each year’s cricket champions, or – if the school is small enough –the whole cricket team.
A quick amount of research on the Internet will turn up hundreds of entries in which government bigwigs make the following clich Ğ yet sensible Ğ statement when asked to comment on the Ergenekon investigation: "It would be wrong to comment on a court case in progress.
Those who are concerned with Turkey have to readjust their focus and follow developments much closer. There are spectacular developments that make this necessary.

ISTANBUL - Director of some of the acclaimed and much-loved Turkish sitcoms, Raşit Çelikezer, takes his craft to the big screen in ’Gökten 3 Elma Düştü’ (Three Apples Fell from the Sky), with disappointing results as he hurries his underdeveloped characters into a slur of heavy drama
As you might have already known, the year 2009 is also the "Darwin Year." It is the bicentennial of the birthday of the great British naturalist, and sesquicentennial of publication of his famous book "The Origin of Species." Hence we hear a lot these days about evolution, its history and, most important of all, its meaning.
We Turks hotly debate the role of religion in public life all the time. But our frame of reference hardly goes beyond a few clichs that have been planted in our minds by the official ideology, education system, and other national narratives. That’s why it would be a good idea to raise our heads a bit and look at other sources which bring different perspectives to the same question.
ISTANBUL - While European football is trying to prevent racism, Turkey mostly tends to wash its hands of it and see the glass as half full. It may be true that there is little racism about skin color, but with recent abusive remarks toward Israeli player Pini Balili and former referee Oğuz Sarvan, Turkish football hardly has the cleanest record.
Sannin stands still not only as a snow-covered mountain in the northeast of the Lebanese capital Beirut but also a mountain gazing over the Mediterranean behind the Mount Lebanon. About 3,000 meter high Mount Sannin is the second highest point in Lebanon. The great British travel writer Colin Thubron once wrote, "It ascends with a massive assuredness on the shoulders of the peaks around it, a first among equals."
Some of Turkey’s most repeated, biggest lies are the following: The slogan, "Leave yourself to the caring arms of justice;" the clich, "Trust the police who will take you under their wings and protect you;" and the most brilliant, "Justice will certainly find the truth and determine who is right and who is wrong."
